Getting IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

I am installing Vista 64 on new system.
ASUS Stricker II MoBo
4GB Gaming (CL5) memory
Intel Quad 6600
EVGA 8800GTS
2 500GB Seagates
RAID 0 config

Loads Vista ok, but on reboot stops with this error. Have no idea what is
happening. Tests are OK on boot up and mem test ok. If video drive is
problem, how do you load from OEM disk instead of Windows at startup?

Help, want my system up soon..

Load the correct video driver at the load driver button on the page where
you select the drive to install on.
I also would remove 2gig of ram for the install, apply the Vista hotfix and
then install the 2gig back.

Re: Getting IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Great. Did remove one of the 2gb chips and finished the load. Everything is
ok, except running with one 2gb chip. What 'hot fix' are you speaking of?
Did not know there was one.

Re: Getting IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Maybe this is a repeat and if so, sorry. Removed one of the 2gb chips and
system operates ok. Swapped the chip and still works. Put both in and the
BSOD comes back. So what is this 'hot fix' you speak about? Will try if you
can direct me to it.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Getting IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

I don't have the link but it has been posted here several times by others.
If you make a new post with the 4gig hotfix as the subject you should get a
quick answer
