Do you know if you gave the latest BIOS? 1007.

Also how much free space is on your C: drive?

Im sorry, on your first question, I do not know what your asking. If your asking about the BIOS information on the scan then it says:

BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 0610 12/30/2005

Otherwise you might have to explain yourself a little more please.

I have 24.6 GB of free space on my C drive.

By the date I am seeing several updates to your BIOS although I am not finding a 0610.

http://support.asus.com/download/download_...el=A8N-VM%20CSM

The most recent (and most likely last) was Version 1007 2007/01/22 update

This might address some issues but you must make sure that this is the exact model of your motherboard as it is strange they do not list a 0610 in the history.

Another thing you might try is to run check disk:

start > cmd

then:

chkdsk /r

you will be told the Volume is in use do you want to run on reboot> Y or N >>> Y and reboot. This may take 10 or 15 minutes on the reboot.

The purpose is to check the disk and repair any faults or quarantine bad blocks etc.

You can check but it never should have run on your system drive.

If your system drive is C: then try: chkdsk /c: /r

My fault, it said that the chkdsk would apply when the computer next restarts, it did not do it by itself. Here is the complete message:


"Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? <Y/N>"

So you said: Y & restarted?

If so were any issues resolved?

Yes I said "Y" and restarted my computer, I don't know if this has resolved any issues as I have not had time to check, I will check tomorrow and see if the errors come up and will inform you tomorrow.

Thanks.

I tested the computer today and it ran across the same error as it did in the very beginning:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Also, I turn off the power and turn it back on, the computer seems to stay in the same start menu section. It isn't until I turn off the computer, wait 10 minutes, and turn it on again will it resume to actually start up.

Sorry for the delay.

What does "WhoCrashed" show for the recent dumps?

Also do you have your XP CD?

A Repair Install might be in the future in order to determine if this is a hardware or software issue.
