c & p from another site:Windows Blue Screen Of Death error: STOP: 0x000000D1


Overview:

Windows Blue Screen Of Death error: STOP: 0x000000D1
This Stop error indicates that 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 faulty or mismatched RAM or a damaged pagefile.

When your computer restarts after you install Windows XP Home Edition, you may receive either of the following error messages:

System has recovered from a serious error

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

This behavior may occur if either of the following conditions exist:

- One or more of the random access memory (RAM) modules that are installed in your computer are faulty, or the memory modules are not compatible with the chip set on your computer mainboard.
- The Page file that is used by the Virtual Memory Manager may be damaged.

To resolve this issue:

1. Make sure that the memory modules in your computer are compatible with the chip set on your computer mainboard. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact you computer manufacturer.

i was also having this problem. this appeared while downloading and executing an exe file from the internet. Scanned the computer using avg. Avg reported it as a problem of rootkit( a sophisticated malicious software, apt to change itself so that it can't be detected). AVG showed it in the c:\windows\driver\ and was unable to remove it. Then I downloaded security essentials from the microsoft( firstly uninstalled the existing antivirus program) and went for quick scan. It resolved the problem in no time.

i'm also having threads like this when installing winXp

F8 at boot. Safe with networking. Downlosd malware checker. Run scan check for virus. If no virus then check for loose ram sticks
