Has anyone else had much problems w/ these? After I bought a Radeon 8500 (64MB), I've started getting Stop: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors in WinXP, which hasn't happened before. According to the Microsoft KB, this is most likely due to incompatible 3rd party drivers.

If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please post.

Try doing a search in the Gen. Hardware, Video Card, and Tech. Support forums, I know this has been brought up before and could be a soloution, I don't have the time now to do it.

From I've found, it seems to be a memory issue. But I ran memtest86, and it checks out fine...

Anybody else have solutions/suggestions to this?

I've had a geforce card for about 8 months now and all the sudden is now having this problem. The only thing that has changed is that I had to reformat and redo my system. I've reformatted and reinstalled WINXP to make sure it wasn't that.

Sometime this week I am going to test out my system with a different video card just to see.

If I remember right, I had the same blue screen message on a Win2K Server box. It ended up being the hard drive. Try running hard drive diags. They can ususally be downloaded from the manufacturers website.
