Wow, this just keeps getting worse --
I'm hoping those who have been following my descent into computer hell can help, even though I don't think it's an XP issue anymore...
I ran memtest86, and I've had many errors in test 11, which according to the readme is good at finding "data sensitive" errors.
When running windows setup from the boot cd, the computer crashes to a blue screen, citing "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." This would seem to me to indiciate a hardware conflict that is causing all of my crashes, not anything in Windows itself -- but I have no idea what this error means... could this be caused by possible bad memory? Or is there something else -- the way I installed the motherboard perhaps?
