First of all I didn't put the system together I purchased the parts from a computer store and let them put it together.
evga 680i sli lt, evga 8800gt, 1x2Gb crucial 800, q6600, 600watt gamexstream, 320 GB sata and a DVD optical drive.
Now let me get to the problem, for some reason out of no where i will get a BSOD with a message which i do not have enough time to read because it lasts less then a second. I can play games such as crysis fine, i think i played it 3 hours straight before with out any probelms so i don't think theres anything wrong with the hardware, it's most
likely the software. Now when i say the BSOD comes out of nowhere , every single time that i can
remember it's happened differently wether it be me on the internet or the computer just left on during the night i'll go on the computer the next day and notice it's restarted. Now i don't think it's actually happened while playing a game, it usually happens when nothing intense at all is happening
>installed drivers from cd for motherboard
>installed drivers from cd for graphics card, also tried some from online and it still seems to happen
>i did install two case fans which i highly doubt has anything to do with it.
Now everytime it happens I get a Microsoft Erorr report, when i send the error it says it has to do with the drivers.
Heres what was in the error report contents:
The only thing i can think of is thay maybe it has to do something with the 8800GT? Since it is a new Graphics card maybe the motherboard doesn't 100% recongnize it or something. The Bios is new says 2007 so i don't know, the only other Bios for this board that i can find is in 2006 which would probably be worse.

Any suggestions?

To set the system to display the error message without restarting automatically:
Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
Open Advanced System Settings and then click on the Advanced tab.
Under Start Up and Recovery click on Settings
Uncheck Automatically restart.

Have you gone into BIOS and set the memory voltage and timings for the 2 GB module? Check Mfg. specs on the RAM and set the voltage and timings to those specs.
The error message is likely to do with your RAM. Try going into BIOS and set the memory voltage to 2.2v and the timings to Mfg. specs. If that doesn't stop the system crashes, try some other RAM and see if the problems resolves. Also, Google the error messages you are getting on the Blue Screen and search for any solutions.
0xD1, Hmmm.... Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Yewp, it sounds like we have a driver issue. That or the driver is trying to locate a pagefile in the memory or the IRQ is too high. Anyway, you said that you have installed the driver from the CD right? Ok Have you completely uninstalled it and installed a more recent version? I would think that you have already done that and so it might be that we need to go back to an older driver if you haven't already tried to install the most recent one. If not then you may need to do what badge hinted and do a memtest with a memory testing scanning thingy program. Or just take one RAM stick out and see if it happens and then switch it with the other one and test it.
I set the memory voltage to 2.2 and timings 4-4-4-12 so if it crashes again i will report back, hopefully it doesn't though. The first drivers i installed for the GPU were ones at Nvidia.com, 169.02 or something
which were for the 8800GT but the drivers from the disc(which i have installed currently) said something like "the drivers were not tested for this hardware" which is odd since those are the drivers that came with the 8800GT =\. Oh and i removed the first drivers and restarted before installing the onse on the CD, the BSOD error happens on both drivers anyways.
IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL points to either an issue with RAM or with a CPU's cache system.
I had to send back an Opteron 165 once because one of the core's cache was faulty.
Also, the latest Beta drivers are version 169.12, which fixes a couple of issues with the 8800GT, so I would recommend using those.
Best of luck.

I get blue screens sometimes when I start Diablo 2 or Luxor. If it starts, it works perfectly for hours. Some times, but not always, I get the blue screen after I play for a few hours, close the game, do some surfing for an hour or two, then shut down Windows. It's obviously not because of overheating, because the card can cool all right while I surf.
The blue screen mentions nv4_disp.dll, clearly driver issue. (My card is also nVidia, 8800 GTX, btw).
It happens with the WHQL certified drivers from June and with those from November (163.75) and with 163.71 beta.
I'm starting to think I need Windows XP Pro or Win 2000 or Vista... I got XP Media Center 2005 with SP2.
Badge - thanks for the trick about My Computer. Next time I'll finally get a chance to see details, maybe it will help
I'm Running windows XP pro Sp2 so those drivers are no good for me.
so far so good it's only been a couple hours though, i'll leave my computer on all night and report back in the morning, if it's still running then my problem is most likely resolved but only time will tell.
Well I left it on all night and was disapointed to see the BSOD error message again. I did a little more reserach and figured out that the
error message "NVTCP.sys" had to do something with the Nvidia network utility. Other people have had the same problem as me with the same mobo and they said that it only happened when there was heavy networking such as torrenting, which I was doing. So i removed the Nvidia network utility, hopefull this solves my problem, i don't think the memory had to do anything with it after all, should i change the memory settings back or is it faster with the timings changed? Also my temps for my Q6600 G0 seem a little high, 44-48, stock heatsink and all but thats on idle, what do you think?
