IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

This is the error message that I get when ever I try to overclock my cpu. it will run for a few minutes on bin+1 then it reboots itself. When I set it to bin+2 I get an "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" bsod. Right now I can only operate my XPS 710 H2C at bin+0. Not really what I paid for. I should mention that this system comes factory overclocked and that was the main selling point for me. I have e-mailed support and they did get back to me fast but only suggested try to update my bios ( I had already done that) then to make sure I had only tried to go +2 settings, ( I only used the bios to change the overclock setting and it only enables bin +2. So I sent an e-mail in to tell him I had already done those things. That is the last I heard from them. I have resent e-mails as well. I will call support but this forum has some very knowledgeable people that may be of some help to me. P.S. I have replaced the ram also but it still will not overclock.

    That blue screen message indicates a hardware failure. It could be a video vard or just about any other component. If you overclock a CPU too much, your system might simply shut off. WHen CPUs get too hot they will just shut down for their own protection.

    Try pulling out 2 gig of ram and see what it will do
    You say in your sig

    Correct on the XP as operating system and it was factory overclocked at bin+2 3.46. It ran at this speed for about 20 min then shut down, I tested the memory and it was fine so I turned the clock down one step . At this point I did not get the BSOD but the system kept rebooting so down I went to bin+0 and it runs like a rock there. Alas this is not what I was hoping for My pc will only run stable at bin+0 which is 2.94. I spent a lot of money to be able to overclock and at this point I can't.

    Do you have ATI Tool installed? I had a simular problem with the same message, I Uninstalled it and all was well. For some reason ATI tool adds a virtual device driver in device manager and messes up the IRQ assignments, well it did in my instance :)
