Hi,

I got a problem with Win2k.. using suspend to ram in BIOS (STR3). Suspending
works just fine, only waking up doesnt anymore. It used to work, but then I
flashed my BIOS, and the system would come on for a few seconds, before
shutting down again (nothing on screen). Power it on again, and it would
just boot as normal (not resuming from the suspend state). So I flashed
again to the previous version, and now upon resuming I get a blue screen of
death: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Been flashing back and forward, but I cant
get it to work anymore.

I searched through the MS knowledge base. The error message seems to occur
when you have a bad/outdated device driver. I searched other forums, and
other people have reported the same error, on all kind of completely
different hardware (both intel/intel, intel/via and amd/via). Although most
have this problem randomly, not just when resuming like me.

Anybody have an idea ? I tried SP1, SP2, I got the latest 4-1 drivers from
VIA, tried the USB filter patch.. nothing helps. Tried every possible and
impossible BIOS setting also.

My specs:
MSI KT7 Turbo Raid (tried bios 2.5,2.6,2.7)
Duron 600@866 (tried @600, no difference)
256 Mb PC133
Geforce MX DDR (crappy Creative card)
Aureal Vortex Turtle Beach Montego II (im suspecting this one)
.. other stuff like DVD, intellimouse explorer and intellitype keyboard..
