Multiple IRP requests error message in XP Home

[dslqueen]

Hey guys...My parents have a Dell Pentium 4 and XP home edition, and ever since they bought their pc they have been getting the "blue screen of death" with cannot complete/process multiple IRP requests sometimes 8 times per time on...

they have a cable internet connection, 256mb ram etc

From what I understand, XP...has a queue for I/O requests and you would get this error if there wasn't a spot available...but why would it be happening so often? would this be OS? or hardware related?


thanks

This is a hard one to pin down but some clues might be found here. If it is a new machine give it back to Dell to fix, or at least register the fault with them.

Explanation:
This is a Windows 2000 Executive character-mode STOP message. It indicates an attempt was made to complete an IRP (I/O request packet) more than once, possibly by more than one driver.

User Action:
If this is the first time you have booted after installing new hardware, remove the hardware and boot again. Check the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the hardware and its drivers are compatible with Windows 2000. For information about the hardware, contact the supplier. If you are installing Windows 2000 for the first time, check the Windows 2000 system requirements, including the amount of RAM and disk space required to load the operating system. Also, check the Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the system can run Windows 2000. If Windows 2000 is loaded and no new hardware has been installed, reboot with recovery options set to create a dump file. If the message continues to appear, select the Last Known Good option when you reboot. If there is no Last Known Good configuration, try using the Emergency Repair Disk. If you do not have an Emergency Repair Disk, contact your technical support group.
