NDIS.SYS Stop Error
New system - XPS600 with NForce chipset (wish I'd known before I ordered!!!). Getting frequent
IRQL_Less_Than_Or_Equal_To (ndis.sys) errors (Running XP). I assume this is related to the network controller. Will installing a third party Ethernet card eliminate the problem? Thanks.
BTW - all drivers are up to date (from the OEM Websites) and the BIOS is flashed to the latest release. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any recent driver for the Nforce Network Controller.

Try the motherboard drivers from the nVidia website.

As it's new and you've probably not got alot on it try reformatting, then install windows then when you're installing the drivers put the motherboard drivers in first and use the ones from the nvidia site not the dell site

you will have to copy the file onto a cd before you format.
Then see what happens. If that fails then there's probably something wrong with the hardware and you should get a replacement.

Of course I'm not going to reformat. And the fact that it's new does not mean it's empty. I have two 250 Gb drives with a TON of stuff.
Please - if the best you can come up with is "reformat" you should not be posting in support forums.

You didn't mention doing a search for ndis.sys - I did and found many references with an Altavists search that may help you:
