Damn this is soooo frusterating. I am going to have to go back to WinME if I can't fix this soon. Somebody, anybody, please help.

Well which drivers are you using? There are a few different ones out there.

I have recently done a clean install of Windows XP from a reformatted hard drive. All the drivers for my hardware were succesfully installed, and everything seemed to be working great until, BAM! The computer restarts itself. I turn off Automatically Reboot on system failure, and a bit later I got the good ol' BSOD. The error is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and this happens every so often when I am using my computer. However just yesterday I left the PC on all day without using it and it did not have the error. Today I turn it on and use it for a few minutes and I get the error again. Anyway here is my system: AMD ThunderBird Athlon 800mhz 128MB PC133 Ram Alton M805LR Motherboard with a VIA chipset 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 Video Card (PCI) Sound Blaster Live! Sound Card (PCI) Realtek RTL8139 Ethernet Card(Not PCI - Plugs into mobo with a wire) Newest Award BIOS flash update I got all the updates for VIA that I could find, and I got the newest Video and Sound Card drivers. I have no idea what could be causing this. Everything I try fails to fix it. This really sucks. =/ Windows 98 and ME worked fine, this problem only occurs with XP. Any ideas guys? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
