Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

[hatkoff]

How's it going? I found you guys in a google search. I know a little about computers, but not enough. If you guys could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I received the BSOD.

The computer is a

Dell (go figure, Ive kept it running well for about 6 years now)
Windows XP
2 GB RAM
GeForce 6500

Anyway, the error message is:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Tech info:

STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00A427E4, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xBAD64CD9)
RT2500.sys - Address BAD64CD9 base at BAD4E000, DateStamp 42675c99

Hi,
The RT2500.sys part seems to indicate that your wireless adapter needs an updated driver..This seems to be what was found out here:

Run a MEMTEST and, as suggested, update drivers...

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.
