I keep getting this error that shows up when it is trying to reboot.  It sometimes locks up and restarts and this will show up:

irql_address_not_equal

what is going on?

Sounds like a piece of hardware is acting up or a driver is having problems. It would help if you could tell us the hex code and module name that the error occured in and what you were doing when it happened. That’s often much more instructive.

it flashes by so fast you can’t read it anymore.  Is there anyway to capture the screen or slow it down so I can write it down?

Right-click My Computer and select Properites
Click the Advanced tab
Click Settings in the Startup and Recovery section
Uncheck the Automatically Restart checkbox in the System Failure section
Press OK a bunch of times and reboot.

this is a new one it is flashing on the blue screen:

STOP:  c0000135 {unable To Locate Component}
This application has failed to start because winsrv was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem

I had stuck the recovery disc in and this is the message I got.

Did you try to install SP2 before this happened?

Well guys, I fixed it. 

I talked to a Sony tech and he explained to me that when you upgrade the ram, or anything for that matter, the recovery disc will cause problems.  The recovery disc is for a specific model with a specific amount of ram.  Mine had been upgraded to 1 gig.  I removed on ram chip and tried running the disc and still had problems.  Then I tried removing the otherside of the ram and it worked great.  Total recovery.

The tech went on to say that ANYTHING you added would probably cause this problem.  All I have to do now is put the ram back in since the recovery disc worked.

Just thought I would share this with you.  So far it has worked for several hours with no problems.
