[sktrbssmn 0]

Hello i am looking for any advice or help i can get. I just purchased a custom built system with dual GeForce 7600GS graphics cards. the problem i am having is that after about an hour of playing i am receiving a blue screen message stating

Driver I R Q L is less than equal

after having them looked at the people who built the system say that because i am playing an older game with new er cards that is what is causing the problem. which i have a hard time with, except i installed F.E.A.R and played for three hours with no problem. i am looking for any help or advice i can get. thank you.

system specs: intel p4 650 3.4 ghz

2gb ram

Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe

2 Maxtor 120gb 7200 rpm 8mb

Here's a Microsoft article that seems to imply that they have a fix for it. But I'm a bit doubtful. My understanding is that the IRQL message is a general system error and could have many causes.

And here's a tech thread that discusses it. Could be caused by a memory error or a bad driver. Some have said even an overheating cpu or a crappy power supply could cause it.

Seems as if you have your work cut out for you in trying to determine the source of your problem. The simpler your set-up the easier to troubleshoot. It's too bad you have SLI to make things more complex.

Oh and that part about playing an old game on a new computer is pure crap. I'm assuming GR can be played on an SLI setup but I have no experience using SLI.

hello, thanks for the response, we think we found the problem. we removed the wireless network card we had installed and have'nt had a problem since trying that. go figure. as long as it works we don't care, me and my wife love this game. thanks again for the response.
