Hey people,
Sometimes, whenever I leave my computer just sitting, either on the desktop or with a window or application open, my computer goes to bluescreen for no reason as I can tell. Here's what the blue screen says:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is installed properly. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical information:
***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000008, 0x00000000)
Collecting data for crash dump...
Initializing disk for crash dump...
Any ideas on what's going on? Like I said, this happens when the computers just sitting. I'm going to update the BIOS and and drivers to the latest releases, but is there anything more specific you can see to fix it? I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit on the hardware under 'My System' at the top of this post.
Thanks in advance.
