BSOD - Stop 0x000000D1

Question

Hello. I have been having so many problems with my PC recently. Everytime I start the computer I get the Blue Screen with the error message of;    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_MORE   STOP: 0x000000d1 (0x00000000,0x0000000002,0x00000000,0x00000000)   I don't know what to do. I can only work in safe mode. Any help would be great. Thank you

The most frequent cause of this error is harware not properly seated, such as memory or any add in card on the motherboard, shut down the PC and remove the power cord and then press and hold the power button on the front for 15 sec. Open the pc and carefully remove and reinstall memory and any cards you have. Start the PC and boot with 'last known good configuration'

1.    Restart the computer.2.    When the Dell logo appears, press the key to display the Windows XP startup menu. 3.    Press the key to select Safe Mode Command Prompt and then press the key. 4.    Click to select the Administrator account.5.    Type cd\ and then press the key. The c:\> prompt appears.6.    Type edit boot.ini and then press the key. The boot.ini screen appears.7.    Under the boot.ini screen under the Operating system section you will have a path  as shown below.[operating system]device=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)'Microsoft windows xp   home edition'8.    Type a switch '/pcilock' after typing you will see the path as shown below.Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)'Microsoft windows xp home edition' /pcilock  This should resolve the issue. Thanks and regards Jyothi Kiran.R

Hi. Thanks for the reply Jyothi but I cant do one of the steps you pointed out. I can get into the command prompt and type in edit boot.ini but once i'm in that i cannot enter /pcilock because an error message appears saying i cannot edit a read only file. Any help would be great.   Jayesh
