BSOD (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)

by nh_tele Jun 6, 2005 12:21PM PDT

Hello everyone,
I'm running Windows XP SP2 on a home-built AMD ahtlon system on an Elitegroup K7S5A motherboard. I sometimes get random BSODs, which are obviously very frustrating... The error displayed on these is:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

*** STOP:0x000000D1 (0x00080000,0x00000002,0x00000000,0xF81307D2)

*** USBPORT.SYS - Address F81307D2 base at F81280000, DateStamp 41107D62

If anyone can figure this out, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Message usually results from a driver conflict. Have you got Nvidia drivers, or chipset? Otherwise possible periphereal (USB or Printer, scanner etc.) problem. Try by disconnecting one at a time.

might be USB

I had that problem before with my webcam, turns out the problem was my USB drivers, updated them and was fine.
