    Hi everyone.
    Last week I have upgraded my notebook with 2 new memory ram Kingston 512 Mb PC2100 (133Mhz).
    Since then, sometime when I turn on notebook after splash screen the system crashes and appears the blu screen "Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal" and bottom "ACPI.sys"
    I have tested new ram for 12 hours with MemTest86, but anything error appared
    I have looking for some time setting in bios, but I did not find anything.
    Any idea to solve this trouble ?

    thanks

    What BIOS version at the moment..?? Put in the old ram, and do a BIOS upgrade....and then put in the old ram and then see if it works....!!
    Also try putting one 512MB module in each slot at a time and see if windows loads..!!
    Wha is the error code shown....0x00000000x.. (something like that..??)
    Also try installing the modules in opposite slots....to their original configuration
