UNSOLVED
constant problems
The past two months I've had a lot of problems with my computer that dell tech help (by phone) or anyone else has been able to completly solved. It takes forever for programs to open, problems with the modem, and crashing every other day. I've done the startup cleanup, system restore, disc cleanup, defragment every week, keep a check on my running processes (which I try to keep at 32), run spyhunter, have McAfee virusscan ( I run the last 2 every day, and I have sufficient RAM & ROM. So what could be the problem? As for the modem, sometimes when I try to connect via dialup I will get messages saying that the communication port is busy or invalid when I know it is not. Then when I try to redetect the modem, Windows says there isn't one. I restart the computer and the problem is gone. As for crashing, I get the blue screen with the a message like IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL..............................0xc0000135,0x804E4110, 0x0000000A, 0x000000Q2, 0x00000000. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Matt, This could be a driver problem. You might want to search for your errors here: http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
I have service pack 1 the only hardware I have installed is a printer. I have had Dell to replace the hard drive and modem though. I am currently also having problems with my printer. When something prints the process doesnt end after the printer stops and it is difficult to cancel, restart, or delete a printing process. Would this have an effect?
As far as software, there's been a few but nothing harmful Spyhunter, Dreamweaver MX, a Ram Defragmenter and that belarc advisor

try in start>all programs> and look for the printer software there and a uninstall.Followed your Advice. Gere's what I found out:
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller disabled - I don't figure this to be a problem since I do not have a local network.
No Drivers for:
Direct Memory Access Controller
Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM SMBus Controller 24C3
Numeric Data Processor
Programmable Interrupt Controller
(2) System Boards
System Timer
System Speaker
I don't know if these create problems or how to fix them so any suggestions appreciated.

Not a trouble, click start, then run and type WINVER and click OK this will tell you if Service pack 1 is installed. Also too, this error message is specific to incompatible hardware and or software, what new devices or software have you installed on your system in the last 2 months since this started to happen?Message Edited by TucsonJohn on 03-07-2004 01:26 PM
