System:
Mobo: Abit Fatal1ty fp-in9
Cpu: E6600
Ram: 2Gb Geil Black Dragon, Duel channel
GPU: 9800gtx+
PSU: Arctic 500w

I recently installed Windows vista 32-bit, and have been getting the BSOD when playing games, it usually happens after about 30mins and i get the following error message:


driver irql_not_less_or_equal

i have tried reinstalling drivers for both the Graphics card and the motherboard, and have tried it with old drivers. i have removed 1 stick of ram and tried the other aswell, memtest has been ram on bot sticks and it seems to be running fine, i was wandering if there was a possibility it could be a overheat issue (the Graphics card sits at 50c idle and over 80c under load) or a power supply overload as it is a cheap psu and is always hot! any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you got your graphics card OC'd? Try updating your drivers for MotherBoard and Graphics!
