| Blue Screen - Help??? im having trouble with installing a new graphics card. i installed the card & driver then shut down the pc. i then installed a 2.1gb hdd asd backup for the 250(to keep installers). when i booted up it tried to boot windows 98(on the 2.1hd) instead of xp. i took the 2.1hd & graphics card out & tried to boot normally. i recieved a blue screen when trying to boot in safe mode. it says  RIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. i ended up putting xp on the 2.1hd & eventually bios recognized them both. someone said the error is because (more than likely) a graphics card driver isnt installed correctly. he says if i download the latest version, it should sort itself.. if i go to my computer, they are both there. so can i download the driver to the 2.1gb & transfer to the 250? if so, how? also somebody else said this message occurs when 2 parts(eg hdd & gpu) try to share the same IRQ CHANNEL.. is there a way, i can see what hardware, im installing to what channel?? i can go to start>control panel>system>hardward> device manager, &this tells me what is set to what channel. but is there a way i can do it when installing graphics card?? also, someone reccomended installing xp again onto the 250, but choose not to format. would this work? i even tried repair console, i typed in FIXMBR & FIXBOOT, but it still gets a BLUE SCREEN, i would really appreciate some help here.. thanks |

| Re: Blue Screen - Help??? Try totally uninstalling any graphics drivers / agp drivers, reboot and install the latest drivers for your video card. This error msg is usually either down to corrupt video drivers or failing RAM. The only way of stopping xp from sharing IRQ's is to re-install it, pressing F6 during installation when it asks for RAID drivers, and choosing Normal PC rather than ACPI enabled. However, most people run a system with shared IRQ's and no probs so I can't imagine this being the culprit. Try googling DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL to see what you can find.

| Re: Blue Screen - Help??? Like I said in your other thread, re-install Windows on your freshly re-formatted sata drive. Then worry about the graphics card and drivers. Fix one problem at a time, worst to least concern.

It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. The truth can be found here http://jhtalisman.blogspot.com/ The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body." |
