My PC keeps restarting by itself(every 5-10mins) especially while watching videos using kmplayer(same prob with other players), sometimes theres a blue screen, driver not less or equal/irql nor less or equal. sometimes, it jus restart(no blue screen). i tried playing games but nothing happens even after 1-2hrs but after that i switched to watching videos, it restart again. the videos, kmplayer have no prob when using my bro pc to watch. ad-ware/spyware/virus scanned but showed nothing. i tried leaving the pc on without doing anything and it will hang ard 45-1hr later. winxp had been reinstalled and the prob is not solved. can it be that the processor is spoilt? what can i do? my mobo specs pcchips m955g p4 2.66ghz 735 RAM
Most likely a driver issue. What graphics card are you using? Or are you using an integrated Intel graphics chip?
Obviously a hardware/driver issue, IRQ_less_or_not_equal means that something has failed to respond to an Interrupt Request. Best you can do is to update your drivers to the latest ones by the manufacturer, and flash your BIOS to the newest release. But i do suspect it is hardware issue. If updating doesn't help 1. Check the temps of your PC (proc core, northbridge, vrms and stuff) make sure none goes above 60c. 2. Check all the connections, take out your RAM and reinsert it firmly, do the same for all other motherboard components. 3. Clear your PC of dust and gunk. The above usually clears up 90 percent of my premature BSOD cases.
but from what i know, if BIOS is updated wrongly, it can cause system failure. i'm not so confidence in doing it. is it really needed to use floppy disk for bios update as indicated by the mobo website?
Well, anything NOT done properly will always lead to trouble, right? It depends on your motherboard. Some motherboards have Windows-based utilities to flash the BIOS. But even if given the option, I prefer to use the floppy drive.
If you make sure you are flashing the RIGHT BIOS, it's unlikely to fail unless there's a power failure. In any case, there are workarounds for BIOS failures. You might want to read our motherboard BIOS flashing guide and Hot Flashing Guide before you try it out. I would recommend updating the Intel Extreme Graphics driver first though. See if the driver is the problem.
i cant find the version of my drivers, how do i know whether if it needs to to updated? I installed the testmyhardware and it states that my sys bios ver is AMI-080010 but the ver on the mobo website states 050413S, so is it the latest ver? I cant find the bios id on cpu startup... sorry for asking so much because I need to know more b4 I even try doing anything to my pc ini case it dies down...
every tim after it restart, there this msg. BCCode : 9c BCP1 : 00000000 BCP2 : 8054D370 BCP3 : A2000000 BCP4 : 84010400 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 768_1
What are source you watching videos from? dvd rom, dvd burner, HDD? Does it make a difference? I had to buy a newer burner lately because my old dvd rom just could not handle the disks my friend had burnt for me lately. New drive prob solved. Just a thought.
i'm not sure if i found the prob but from the computer info status taken from the help and support center, i found that the memory(RAM) detected is 16MB but the minimum requirement is 64MB. What can I do? I have 2 RAM, 512 & 256.
Try to reseat the ram. And take one stick out and see if that works, If not try just the other stick. Be sure to use the primary ram slot. Might help. Might have a bad ram.
Onboard graphics? Video hangs? Max out your shared memory for onboard graph to 32MB (or higher if possible) and set AGP aperture to 128MB. Then try again.

i check the dump many times and found that mostly its because of kmixer.sys. this is a kernal audio file(http://www.file.net/process/kmixer.sys.html), is it safe if deleted?
