Hello, hope this posting is correct this time...I think I screwed up the first time by not posting to a new thread. I just finished installing a Netgear Gigabit Ethernet PCI card in a Dell Dimensions PC running MS Windows 2000 Pro and after rebooting, received the following BSOD (only if I'm physically connected to the cable/dsl router and the Internet connection is up:

Stop: 0x000000D1 [0x00000018, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xf879d4d8]

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Due to some odd occurances concerning the use of things Internet-enabled (mostly mail related such as MS Outlook and Yahoo Mail), I suspect a virus. Here are the results of running HiJackThis:

Also, am attaching the three minidump files in .zip format that were generated after three reboots with an active Internet connection present.

None of the entries have been deleted yet after running HiJackThis.

Ok....here is the .zip of the 3 .dmp logs. Hopefully someone can help get to the bottom of this before I have to resort to something drastic.

Hi,

All of your minidumps are inaccessible. This is symptom of faulty ram or PSU.
You can run memtest to stress the ram. If memtest reports the ram is faulty, ram is bad. However Memtest is not a perfect tool to test the memory as some faulty ram can pass memtest.

Suggestion
1. Check the temperature of the CPU and make sure that it is not overheat (ie temperature < 60C)
Make sure that the CPU fan works properly
2. Reseat the memory stick to another memory slot. Reseat video card as well.
3. Downclock the ram. Check to default setting if you video card is overclocked.
4. Clean the dust inside the computer case
5. Make sure that the ram is compatible to the motherboard
6. Check the bios setting about memory timing and make sure that it is on
7. Make sure that your PSU have adequate power to drive all the hardware including USB devices

If it still crashes, diagnostic which memory stick is faulty
1. Take out one memory stick. If windows does not crash, the removed memory stick is faulty.
2. If you have only one memory stick, replace the ram

Let Hijackthis fix the 015 trusted zone entry, and all the 016 dpf entries.

Then follow cpc2004`s advice.

Full instructions for testing your ram etc can be found HERE

Regards Howard

Many thanx for the advice. I'm kind of leaning towards the PSU as the possible culprit (possibly being overtaxed with the addition of the Gigabit card...which btw is asking for a whopping 14 watts to power it). I've run MemTest 86+ and the ram modules (Crucial 256MB SDRAM; PC 100) tested as good on three separate occassions. I'll post my findings tonight when I'm done. Thanx again.

Well, as suspected in the end after your advice, it was not a faulty PSU, but instead simply an underpowered one. The PC I was installing the Netgear GA622T Gigabit Ethernet card into is roughly 7 yrs. old (!!)...I know, why even waste the time...but the wife for some reason loves that old Dell. I don't think it's putting out more than 225-250 Watts and that NIC wanted to suck 14 of it as soon as it sensed a network conection. So, that's what was causing the inaccessability related stop error within a minute of the PC finishing loading Windows.

All in all, it was worth it...HiJackThis did in fact find a handful of entries that needed the heave ho and her PC is clean. Thanx guys.
