Critical Error Or Buffer Overflow Problem ??

[Spacescreamer]

Yaar, this comp wont remain stable..

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

IF this is the first time that u have seen this stop error screen, restart ur comp.

if this occurs again, then follow this procedure:

Check to see if u have adquate space. If a driver is identified in the error msg, then disable or check for the update.

Try changing the video adapter.

Chek with ur hardware vendor for any bios update.

Disable any BIOS memory option sch as caching or shadowing. If need to use safe mode then restart and press F8.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL indicates that a page fault occurred while executing at a point when page faults cannot occur. This could be because of a bad pointer.

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA implies a bad pointer.

I'm now pretty sure it is your RAM causing this. Run memtest86+ if you can. Let us see how that goes.

NDIS.SYS is the name of the driver that was being executed at the time of the crash; next time there is a crash see if the culprit is NDIS.sys again. I doubt it though, it is unlikely to be the reason behind your applications crashing.

Your HDD is probably not the culprit. In any case, even if it is developing a few bad sectors, that will not render it completely useless (you should be able to get most of your data off it).
