PCGgrt916Z, driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

[schouw]

Three or four times a day I get a crash, a blue screen and message driver_irql_not_less_or_equal.
What can I do about it.

Check in your device manager, if there are any conflicts (Yellow mark).

The error message states, that the driver of a hardware-device (such as graphic-card) adresses an interrupt port that seems to be in use by another device.

Within a few hours I had 4 or 5 crashes, especially when I send a photograph to a hotmail adres.
There were no yellow marks at the devices. So you suggest.
I also set the bios settings to default f2 f9 and f10, this was the first time I looked at this page. Probably it stood in the default settings already.
I also get the message: process has locked pages, I've got 51 blocked pages. What is that?
And the error message: thread stuck in device driver.

Please help me.

Technet has a few results for this, and it looks like one of your drivers is being too clever (or other way round in my opinion.)
Try these

I printed out the pages about troubleshooting specific stop messages. More or less I know the problem but it is not easy for me with my poor knowledge about hardware of the computer to find a sollution, the steps I have to make.
What I did yesterday at the end of the evening I installed the latest display driver of the sony-vaio link.. A version of march 2003, on my computer was a version of 2001.It was I believe not assigned, not known or something like that. The new version was known by microsoft (something like NVD460101 driver).
I didn't have the time to see if the problem is solved now.
Earlier I set the hardwareacceleration to none, but that didn't solve the problem.
EXTRA
1. I don't know the problem about "process has locked pages"
2. Is it usuallly that on the keyboard above the two there is a " instead of @. It looks the positions are changed. In the netherlands the @ always stands above the 2.

Hmm, never very easy to sort these problems out.

Sounds like one of your drivers is corrupt or not working with the hardware correctly.

Try and remove the offending driver by booting into safe mode (F8) before the Windows logo.

Then uninstall the graphics driver and restart.

Put the new driver back on.

Your keyboard is in US, you need to put it in UK (usually in Control Panel > Keyboards.

Sorry that was not the solution, I removed the former driver of the graphics adaptor and installed the new driver. Since than I had twice a crash during working with paint, working on a picture. I really don't know what to do next.
There was also a crash when I left the computer for a few minutes alone.

By the way I can,t find GB keyboard setting after control panel-keyboard, there is only something about hitting the keys (speed) and information about the hardware.

Sorry about that, you should check regional settings

During typing a new reaction, the computer crashed.

The problem with the keyboard is solved.

It's pitty that my Sony computer doesn't work properly.
My wife on the other side of the table plays "scrabble" , a word game on a two year old supermarkt notebook from LIDL (a Targa notebook) and has no problems.
I can't even download this legal game on my computer, it says an error about srabble.exe.
I even can't be proud of my new notebook (just three months old) against my wife her notebook.

Should windows XP be loaded again, With the computer came only a recovery disc.
Is there something with the IRQ or BIOS settings, or is that to dangerous to look at.

Please help me.

I think I had seven or eight crashes this evening , to give the most information after stop 0x000000d1 are four parameters. The first and the last differs everytime there is an error. The second and third parameter stays always the same0x0000002 and 0x000000.
Again a crash during waiting, and watching the last minutes of the football game.

I hope you have something about this information.
