Question,

how were you able to read what was on the blue Screen of Death?

 I was having a hard drive go bad and would get the blue screen but it scrolled by so fast and then flipped to a new screen, "Do you want to re-start in safe mode, use your last good set up, etc." that I could never read what the blue screen actually said. thx

Well it says dumping physical memory about 10 sec I have before shutting it down. I thought it was my Explorer 7 beta causing the problem but I uninstalled it and still have the problem? I think it is software related. I can run slingbox but then 5 mins later it crashes and I see that blue screen. I got a new error today after uninstalling the IE  7 I will have write it down and post it. The weird thing is I can remote connect to the sling and watch it no problem what so ever but when I watch it from my wired Lan that is when I get the problem. With it just being a problem with my home computer I really think it is a software issue now just to found out which one.

Video driver maybe? Do a search on bad pool caller and you'll find some resources on telling what the codes on the screen mean...

Ok, Windows update complete now I can run slingbox for as long as I want, but when I shut down my pc I get the blue screen. Now the error code says "IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL" I will try updated my video card when i get home tonight.
