STOP: 0x0D1 error

[Chris]

We have a computer that is currently receiving the
infamous STOP: 0x000000D1 error whenever we attempt to
boot into Windows XP Home edition. This is of course
accompanied by DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The full
error,
STOP: 0x000000D1 (<somewhat random address>, 0x00000002,
0x00000001, <somewhat random address>). The 'somewhat
random addresses' change with each occurrance. We can
boot into safemode, but every attempt to boot into normal
mode results in the above error. I have run memtest,
which found no fault with the memory, and I have updated
all drivers I could find to their most recent versions.
I have also attempted the fix involving the virtual
memory manager (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;810093), with no cure. This computer has
a Pentium 3 1.3 ghz processor, and 128 Mb of RDRAM. The
error does not specify any particular driver or file
name, nor give any other indication of what is causing
this problem. We have attempted all of the fixes
suggested off of http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.php#0xd1
as well, and every possibility listed either does not
solve this problem, or is not applicable to this
situation. That is, except for the possibility of the
hotfix regarding the apci and a bios with multiple
tables. Unfortunately, I do not know if that is the case
here or not. This computer's bios is:
Phoenix Bios Core Version 4.0, Release 6.0
Bios Revision 2.08 07/17/01 .
Unfortunately, browsing Phoenix' website has not provided
me with any enlightenment so far.

So, does nayone have any suggestions as to what next
steps may be taken at this point? Thanks...

Did you check Event Viewer (Control Panel ->
Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer)?

Yes, and there were no errors that indicated what might
be going wrong, at least not that I could tell. Nothing
seemed to indicate a device driver failing in this
fashion. In fact, the only critical errors documented
are those associated with entering Safe Mode.
