I have an older computer, when shutdown is clicked, it will restart. I went under start up and recovery, and unchecked the restart on system failure. After I went to shut it down it bluescreened and gave me the error message of driver_irql_or_less_or_equal.
And the error message at the bottom said cx88avd.sys. And since the computer is mainly used for ipod charging, and loading new songs on it, when I opened iTunes, and tried to copy in a new CD, it shutdown on me.

The problem is that this is my parents computer, and I have been away from home for a while, and am not entirely SURE what they did to it. To the best of my knowledge no new hardware or software has been installed, and the only thing that it is used for is for my parents ipods. I have run anti virus scans, and registry scans, and played with just about every setting that I could. Can SOMEONE point me in the right direction so that I do not have to REFORMAT the computer?Windows version? Hardware specs? Complete error message?

Only then will anyone be able to really help.Windows XP Pro
768 megs of ram
Athlon 2000
Nvidia FX 5500

And the bluescreen error message:

Cause of the error
driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

And the technical information

If you get the same error it is most likely your RAM. You can try to PULL it out and reseat it than run a RAM test.

If you don't get the error than one of the cards you pulled out maybe bad. Keep putting one back in at a time and rebooting until you get the error again.
