My first XP BSOD

I just came in to work this morning and I had the Blue Screen of Death across both monitors, it was very cool!

I actually have never seen a BSOD on XP before. Interesting.

I was going to say at least it’s not coming back, but it is coming back … all the time.

Here’s the gist of it …

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

blah blah blah

STOP: 0×000000D1 (0×00000023, 0×00000002, 0×00000000, 0xB78531B6)
NVTcp.sys - Address B78531B6 base at B784F000, Datestamp 4253b85b

etc etc etc

Turns out from a simple google search for nvtcp.sys that the culprit it the NVIDIA network manager; apparently it tries to share an IRQ address, which causes the issue? Over my head.

So I’m uninstalling that quick smart, I wan’t my dual screen setup back …

It seems that everything is fine now.

    Had that problem on my dell laptop (Inspiron 1300)
    reinstalling the machine 2-3 times did not help, I found the problem is when I install the graphics driver (Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML) is not to to look in windows update site for a newer driver, it seems to immediately break the driver with no way back to fix it.
