Re: error restarts intermittently

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.
And text about newly installed hardware or software, disable memory
options- cache, shadow... nothing specific. Should I look for a
particilar item?

The system is up for hours then out it goes with the stop...

Device manager is good. It would seem that that is expected. If I get
into windows all hardare was happy. If the stop error appears I'll not
get to windows and I cannot see the device manager to ID particular
hardware.

Thank you.

Does the Error occur during the boot process or after?

Doe the Error occur in Safe Mode?

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ;
Stop:0X000000D1 (0x00007430C, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X0007430C)
What appears on the line below what is above?

Background information on Stop Error message
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms795930.aspx

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process
IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver
(one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by
faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

My wife's system chokes when starting Windows XP, SP3 with all
updates. My son is famous for shutting down improperly. When Chkdsk
runs I know he skips the check. I think this is what created this
problem. He is in too much of a hurry to play Halo online, 11 yr old.

I have tried the recovery console- fixboot, fixmbr. I ran chkdsk from
safe mode on both disks, no errors detected. However, intermittently,
more often that not, the system will halt with the error described
above. Norton AV detects nothing and Spybot finds no spy. Again,
sometimes I get into safe mode but sometimes the system hangs with
the ide led glowing bright. The scsi led shows no hdd activity. I
have stopped the system from restarting on system error. Now, I see
the stop error each time. At the beginning it flashed by so fast I
had no idea. Well, I still have no idea.
I pulled the memory and tried different sticks. The scsi and video
card fan and heat sinks are thoroughly clean. The slocket and its cpu
heat sink fan, power supply and motherboard are also free of dust. I
disabled all caching and shadowing.

I think my disks are fine. I suspect the IDE hard disk may have an
intermittently functional electronic component. Some satus or command
is not tracking properly.

I need help from the true experts-- you all. Where do I go with this.
Thank you.
