I just got a Blue Screen of Death with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, in NDIS.sys.
My hardware:
- Intel P4 Northwoord 2.4 GHz
- Intel D850EMV2 board
- 4 x 256 MB RDRAM
- other stuff
Context:
- Computer was doing fine for most of the day (running Windows XP, doing desktop work).
- Suddenly it freezes: I still get the display, but it doesn't answer network traffic nor respond to keyboard/mouse.
- Restarting and trying to boot Windows XP gets you the BSOD either during boot or at the Welcome screen.
- Ran MemTest+ 4.20, no errors.
What could be the possible causes?
