Try pressing F8 before windows loads.  You will see a screen with a few options.  use the optoion entitled "Use last known good configuration".  Sometimes this fixes the problem.  Its usually a driver error, so this may revert the driver back to what it was originally.  Tell us if this works, if not we'll get into some more troubleshooting.

If Dave's suggestion does not work, and if you're using Windows XP (are you?), after booting in safe mode, do a System Restore (do you know how to?).

Good luck.

Known issue with Win2000 and driver problems / conflicts:  All the below information is taken from the internet, fyi:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294876

This behavior can occur because a driver has requested (by using the IoCompleteRequest function) that an I/O request packet (IRP) needs to be completed, but the packet has already been completed.

A driver has called IoCompleteRequest to ask that an IRP be completed, but the packet has already been completed.

Resolving the Problem
This is a tough bug to find because the simplest case a driver that attempted to complete its own packet twice is usually not the source of the problem. More likely, two separate drivers each believe that they own the packet, and each has attempted to complete it. The first request succeeds, and the second fails, resulting in this bug check.

Tracking down which drivers in the system caused the error is difficult, because the trail of the first driver has been covered by the second. However, the driver stack for the current request can be found by examining the device object fields in each of the stack locations.

Possible Solution:  Try restarting the system and right after it finishes its POST press F8 to bring up an interactive startup menu, then select the option "Last known good configuration". If there is no hardware problems it must likely will allow you to regain control of the Operating System. On the contrary, if a hardware problem has developed, or a severe file corruption has occurred, you may try removing any new installed hardware first. If not successful, then you probably would want to try the repair option after booting yous system from the installation CD. You may also be able to repair the file system by installing the drive as a slave device or a master device in the secondary IDE chanel (most desirable) in a Windows 2000 or Windows XP functional system.

as the word says it is a irq error which can mean that two hardware devices are trying to use the same memmory addres.
or your you have bad memmory, try to take out one dim, and if the problem occours the other (in case you have two) otherwise you can use Quick Tech Pro (this is a hardware testing tool). you can test everything with this.

most of the cases this happens it is because of your memmory.
but if you installed any hardware lately this can be the issue also, in this case try to update the drivers you are using for your hardware. this is because bad drivers can try to access the wrong memory address.

i hope this can solve your problem

Hello all of you!!

First I'd like to thank every single one of you for your rapid replies!! Really, some posts elsewhere did not provoke a single reply from anyone so....Then second of all > I haven't been able to get into windows until now (after my post I shut down the whole sh*t and went to work to find out I was no longerable to get into windows again when I got home afterwards, until now that is;) I will start with the first one that replied but please keep in mind that it could take me some time to get back at ya all since I'm not very convinced I can easily reboot without losing access to windows.  Furthermore I have to say that although I did not get into windows I already tried the console (insert the xp disk and then after some time choose the R option which brought me into windows Dos mode but once there I looked around and had to be honest to myself by asking: ' What the H*ll am I doing here'.....;) So I rebooted and tried to repair the installation which seemed a normal clean install to me (but I can be wrong there ofcoursee) and voila I got into windows but the first screen to pop up was an error message saying a recovered from a severe error and after some investigating I concluded that the wmi had been damaged or dissapeared. Then I decided to reboot and that was the end of the story regarding getting into windows. Mind me I have some more questions which could really be plain and dumb to you guys but obviously not to me since I wouldn't ask about it ofcourse;)
1. Only one fan is active and its speed varies enormously, my hdd's are nearly too hot to handle and  temp of the cpu is 36 degrees. For this reason I shut down the sh*t a few hours ago and decided to try again only 10 minutes ago for I assumed the temp would perhaps be involved with this whole tragedy. SInce I now managed to get into windows I feel a 'lil encouraged to start believing the temp IS involved......anyone any idea on how to fit this puzzle??
2. Could a driver from another pc (the client) be 'fighting' for that packet  since I did install some hardware on the client pc? (that is....if I get you guys right then this is about two drivers fighting for one packet or some memory problem which perhaps could be the consequence of the driver problem right?)

So far so good.......I will now try to gain that control of my XP installed pc back again and like to state once more than I really appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge and I WILL get back to reward all of this generously!!

Regards from Paul van Bommel

Your temp of 36 degrees C seems like a good temp for any processor.  Depending on the processor, it should be able to handle at LEAST 50 degrees before you have to worry  (my athlon 2500+ for example averages 50 degrees idle).  It may be a temperature problem though, we cant rule that out.  Possibly your video card??  Sometimes RAM goes bad, this may cause blue screens.  Maybe when you shut down, that did a hard reset on all of your devices, so instead of rebooting as usual, you cut the power to reset everything and this might have solved it.  My real hunch is that the winxp repair feature you performed actually fixed this whole thing.

Hi there davemarm thanks again for your rapid reply!!

Have but 'lil time now to respond (45 minute break from work) so I'll keep it short here. The repair feature seemed to have solved the problem only after a reboot I bumped into the BSOD with the same message again so I repaired it once again with the option -recent settings that worked- and voila I'm back up and running although I must say that it takes a while before I get into windows, much longer than normally is the case.  Would it be wise to shut the sh*t down and unplug everything once you think? I kinda reinstalledwindows already but that did not solve my problem. Oh and I forgot to mention this perhaps vital piece of info > this pc happens to be my brothers so I'm not 100% familiar with the configuration etc. > therefore I did not pay attention to the fact that he normally has to F6 during windows setup to provide drivers for a raid controller > something I overlooked.......But it would be a damn coincedence if my attempt to restore the system (during which I forgot the raid controller) would cause exactly the same error as I already got when I did not restore it right?

Well I'm off to work now thank you thank you thank you for your reply........you WILL be rewarded generously and so will anybody who takes the effort to assist me in this 'lil war'.;)

Regards Paul van Bommel
