I am getting this error message

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

<blah blah>

STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000081, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8A5BA588)

When I suspend my computer and resume this happens randomly - sometimes
after the first resume, sometimes after I have suspended and resumed a few
times - but it always happens.

I just changed a setting in my BIOS in power management "allow HDD power
down in suspend" to enable suspending my computer (before it would suspend
but not power up). I am thinking that perhaps a setting in the BIOS is
causing this error message. Does anyone have an idea?

This is Windows XP Pro SP2. I have an ECS A939 Motherboard with BIOS v 1.1K
(just updated it), 2GB DDR RAM, and an Athlon X2 3800+ proc. nForce drivers
are latest version.
 
Just for the sake of anyone looking for a solution to this problem, I *might*
have found it in the website just mentioned by Will (above):

"The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper
addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a
damaged pagefile."

I have two RAM modules in my computer - they were bought a year apart from
the same vendor (Crucial) and are the same speed and everything (but
physically one is nearly twice as big as the other). But if I understand RAM
correctly, it is better to buy them in "matched pairs." So this could be the
source of my problem, but one I wouldn't be able to solve as I don't have
another $225 laying around to purchase a 2GB matched pair bundle.

Well....I went off to the repair shop as a result of the 0X0000008E 0xc000005
0x0002003 0xf79De2D8 0x00000000 'stop error' and I went to Jim Eschelman's web
page(which translated at MSkb315335 to be driver issue, Ram module or configuration,
hardware or Bios) The computer has spontaneously rebooted two days in a row plus the
check the harddrive utility and no report so I unchecked the 'automatic reboot'
feature. Then I got the actual stop error and the repair person agreed that the
machine should go in for an inspection.
Repair person took ram sticks out and switched positions (it is a matched pair) It
wasn't the Ram
The Bios was checked and then the harddrive (new Samsung in March 06-so 6 months old)
with no virus/spam etc.
At that moment the harddrive stopped reading. Reinstall was not possible either. A
replacement Western Digital drive was installed. So my past week has been
reinstalling and redoing all the fine tweaks since it wasn't possible to transfer any
file settings. The upside was that the Windows certification went through with hardly
a blip and included a Thank you<lol> Plus the repair person made me a slipstreamed Xp
with updates since my Xp is pre sp1.
So...stop errors are worth investigating <grin>

Might just remove one or the other mem modules and see if the problem
subsides in the short term.. You don't mention what your using DDR400/333/266
unbuffered DDR SDRAM..
You also don't mention your Video cards specs either, have you been swaping
out video cards..? Sound & video card drivers up to date..? New hardware
drivers(Nvidia chipset, Lan, IDE,and Raid drivers) are all posible suspects.

Got the manual and NVRAID user guide..?

Did you load the raid drivers during the XP installation..? See link above..
