BSOD: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

[bdoub1eu]

We have a dell optiplex 270...Fairly new and the last three tuesday's between 11am - 1pm, the machine has blue screened with this blue screen error...I performed an analysis of the dumb and here are the results...I have no idea what it's referring to and I haven't had much experience debugging dumps...Any help would be much appreciated!

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000001c, IRQL
Arg3: 00000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: 804f63e1, address which referenced memory

I have seen this before. You might try plugging whatever PCI devices you have into different slots.

... also, in the BIOS Setup, make sure that it's set to "Reset configuration data" in the PCI/IRQ section, as well as "Plug and Play OS" = Yes.

Hope this helps!
