irql_not_less_or_equal

[5211]

recently i've been getting the BSOD but it never happens when i'm there. usually when i'm downloading something and i leave it computer it happens.
can anyone tell me what this message is or refers to so i can fix it?

irql_not_less_or_equal 0x000000D1 (0x00000008, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xf7389dc9)

Have a look here and see if it helps:

could also have to do with:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmd_stp_ottj.asp

This error can occur when you transfer large files such as photo and videos over a USB connection to your computer. XP does not allocate enough resources for the large file transfers. To prevent this error from occurring, you’ll need to download the XP Service Pack 1 at www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/default.asp

Another source of IRQ errors has to do with interrupts wrt your graphics card and pci devices like sound cards.

If you have an AGP card and a sound card in there, or perhaps some other pci device, you might want to move the pci devices into some of the other slots and see if it eliminates the error for you.

Bad power supply can cause this error as well but most times I have seen it has been related to bad memory.

I've had this problem when I had Fast Writes enabled in BIOS for my AGP graphics card, could be worth a look?
