IRQL not less or equal error during installation

[partyhardwk]

I have XP currently installed on partition 1 which is my first hard drive. I do custom install for windows seven and put it to partition 2 which is my other hard drive (formatted) and let it do its thing. It then tells me to restart so i do and then it goes to the logon screen and says installing/setting up windows, then shortly after that it goes to the blue screen error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I dont get it, can someone please help me out and tell me whats wrong and how to fix this?

It sounds like either a hardware issue or more likely a memory leak, which has become a bit of a common problem for some.

There is a link to the fix. To install it, try and see if you can get into safe mode.

Dude read the thread title properly!
How would you get into the safe mode if you're still installing you moron!
