My PC crashes several times a day. Today I wrote the error down.

Driver IRQL not less or equal.

Stop 0x000000D1 (0x F7C1E298, 0x 000000FF, 0x 00000000, 0x F767034A)

VMNETSRV.SYS Address F767034A base at F766E000 datestamp 40ce4e51

Why might be the problem?

This from some googled website:

Quote: "


The Stop 0xA message indicates that a kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL) that was too high. A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own. This Stop message is typically due to faulty or incompatible hardware or software.

Possible Resolutions:

* A Stop 0xA message might occur after installing a faulty device driver, system service, or firmware. If a Stop message lists a driver by name, disable, remove, or roll back the driver to correct the problem. If disabling or removing drivers resolves the issues, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, and CD mastering tools.

* A Stop 0xA message might also be due to failing or defective hardware. If a Stop message points to a category of devices (video or disk adapters, for example), try removing or replacing the hardware to determine if it is causing the problem.

* If you encounter a Stop 0xA message while upgrading to Windows XPl, the problem might be due to an incompatible driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup. To avoid problems while upgrading, simplify your hardware configuration and remove all third-party device drivers and system services (including virus scanners) prior to running setup. After you have successfully installed Windows XP, contact the hardware manufacturer to obtain compatible updates.

I'm thinking that maybe you have a dodgy USB device attached, like some obscure MP3 player or USB pen. My last PC had lots of issues when I tried to boot up with a USB pen drive attached, corrupt or out of data drivers is something to look into - when did this start happening and what did you attach to the PC around that time.


less is more, but if less is more how you keeping score?

I've had that before when disconnecting a Guitar Hero X-Plorer.

Another thing may be overheating. I had critical stop failures after putting in a 7950 video card and a sata drive.
It stopped crashing when I removed the side panel on the machine. It was simply too much heat buildup even with fans running.
