well i keep getting this BSOD of i leave my comp on for awhile. I just re-installed windows and before it was working perfect. From what iv found on google its because more than one device is using an IRQ address. And if i look in device manage there are a few that have the same as others. Im wondering if there is a way to manually chane them. I went into my BIOS and can manually pick if #1-15 are PCI or reserved, but that doesnt help me. Here are all my IRQ devices:

(ISA) 0 System Timer
(ISA) 1 "keyboard"
(ISA) 4 COM1
(ISA) 6 Floppy disk
(ISA) 8 System CMOS/real time clock
(ISA) 9 Microsoft ACPI-Complient System
(ISA) 10 MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device
(ISA) 13 Numeric data processor
(PCI) 14 NVIDIA CK804 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.7)
(PCI) 15 NVIDIA CK804 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.7)
(PCI) 16 Instant Wireless-B PCI Adapter
(PCI) 16 Texas Instruments OHCI Complient IEEE 1394 Host Controller
(PCI) 17 Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabbit Ethernet Controller
(PCI) 18 MPEG. TV, WDM Video Capture
(PCI) 18 NVIDIA GeForce 6800
(PCI) 19 Silicon Image Sil 3114 SoftRaid 5 Controller
(PCI) 20 NVIDIA CK804 AADMA Controller (v2.7)
(PCI) 20 NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator
(PCI) 20 Realtek AC'97 Audio
(PCI) 21 NVIDIA CK804 ADMA Controller (v2.7)
(PCI) 23 Standard OpenHCD USB host controller

Well that took awhile, here are my computer specs:
mobo: Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
CPU: AMD FX55
(2) ATA DVD drives
(3) Sata 160gb hddd's 2 of them in raid 0
PCI Video capture card
PCI Linksys WMP11 WiFi card
NVIDIA GeForce 6800
 
IRQ_NOT_LESS... is usually a result of bad/outdated drivers.

I would make sure everything in your system is up-to-date, which is probably the case here since you mention your just re-installed Windows.
 
It's "IRQL_not_less_or_equal".

MS Technet

* A Stop 0xA message might occur after installing a faulty device driver, system service, or firmware. If a Stop message lists a driver by name, disable, remove, or roll back the driver to correct the problem. If disabling or removing drivers resolves the issues, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, and CD mastering tools.
* A Stop 0xA message might also be due to failing or defective hardware. If a Stop message points to a category of devices (video or disk adapters, for example), try removing or replacing the hardware to determine if it is causing the problem.
* If you encounter a Stop 0xA message while upgrading to Windows XP Professional, the problem might be due to an incompatible driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup. To avoid problems while upgrading, simplify your hardware configuration and remove all third-party device drivers and system services (including virus scanners) prior to running setup. After you have successfully installed Windows XP Professional, contact the hardware manufacturer to obtain compatible updates. For more information about simplifying your system for troubleshooting purposes, see " Troubleshooting Concepts and Strategies" and "Troubleshooting Startup" in this book.

Generally it's bad RAM or a bad driver.

Run memtest86 for several hours/overnight, report the results.
 
i doubt its my RAM because iv had this comp running for weeks at a time with no problem
instead of taking out my PCI devices can i disable it?

Test the RAM...
 
well its been running for 2 hours with no errors. Is there really a posibility that its the RAM??
This is the error i get:
0x0000000A (0x00000004, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x808283A6)
how can i figure out what that goes too?
 
still getting this error, i moved the location of my wireless NIC and video capture card. Im almost certain that my onboard audio is conflicting.
