well... this happens again after a very long tym happily playing with my PC.. i dont know why it occurs again..

it says IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Just by the tym im playing the COD4... is this related to the VGA??... but the VGA is cool around idle 52C and load less than 65C...

here i provided my pc temps... (as attachment)

and when i send the error report to microsoft, it says " This problem was caused by an error in your computer's random access memory (RAM). Microsoft is unable to determine if this problem was caused by a hardware or software issue, although this type of problem is usually caused by hardware.

Troubleshooting

Microsoft recommends that you download and run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool on your computer to find out if this is a hardware or software problem. On most computers, you can download the diagnostic tool, read the documentation, run the test, and complete the test in less than 30 minutes."

ok, sorry , oversight with the vista thing

chose the iso zip image, unzip it and burn it to a cd. Then restart, make sure the bios boots from cd and that your cd is in the drive.

d_animality

sorry for the noob question, do i just directly burn the image file to the cd as a data file or i have to open it first.. however.. when i open it, my nero automatically open and ask to burn the file but when i click ok.. it fails...~~ something error data etc..

d_animality

well i think ive done the burning process and also the memtest results... heres the attachment pic..so is that tells that everything runs fine and smooth?

well i guess the BSoD appears due to overclocked :P ... as now i underclock it and thus i can run my games just like before...

i'll tell again if theres any probs, but before that, what is this memtest doing or telling? just want to know more... and what can we get from the results provided? thanx for ur helps btw...
