Ok, basically i've been stuck for 3 days now, Everytime i try to load up battlefield 2 i recieve IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on the blue screen of death followed by a load of stop numbers. I've been told its corrupt memory. I have 2x 512mb sticks, i've run MemTest for about an hour and no errors, im just stuck, i have no idea what to do. Some kind generous soul please help me !

Not sure if this helps...

It may not be corrupt memory, at least not hardware. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL means that an application with a lower priority is trying to take CPU time away from an application with higher priority. The higher priority process may be an important system application that the machine can't run without, so Windows may not allow it to happen.

ok so basically windows files were corrupt, so i've loaded windows onto my slave and currently thats running fine.

My slave is 160gb and master 80gb, so how do i convert the master to the slave? is it just a simple case of copying the files over or is more needed? i know i need to flip the jumper!

Thanks for all the help so far :tazz:
