Nightmare...
I recently installed Asus' fly on the wall overclocking utillity: AI Booster. After installing I had a play with it and applied one of the boost presets (110% boost). Unfortunately my system froze up, so I restarted and that's where my problems began.
Instead of starting up I'd get the system error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Tried one more restart but got the same error message once again except this time it said something about Atapi.sys - F83965ED.
Anyways, decided I'd had enough (was going to fdisk the drive at some point over christmas anyways) and wiped my HD whithin XP on my mate's computer. Booted up with WinXP SP2 disk and started to install except I only got as far as the last 'confirmation to install' screen (if that makes sense), when I recieved another BSOD containing the same information as previously stated.
Thought maybe it could be a problem with my BIOS? Then it was suggested my memory could be faulty. Either way, thought I'd have another attempt at re-installing XP, except this time I tried the setup on the HD that I'd previously been using as a slave. No luck, same error messages. Just to clarify, the BSOD appears after the XP boot disk starts up and I select the option to install Windows.
Can anyone shed any light on my situation? Apologies if none of that made any sense.
