Re: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yep, saw it, that's no help either. His link goes to a MSDN article on
a similar problem with Windows 2000. Googling MS's site, I found the
article addressing this error in Windows XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmd_stp_ottj.asp

Unfortunately this is no help either. The article reads:
"Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system
services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back
that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the
manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is
especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications,
antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools."

I did not install any new drivers. A driver is not listed by name, and
I've updated everything that I can think of.

Is there any way to read the memory dump file (I'm not even sure where
it is?), and find out exactly what driver is crashing my system?
