The only way to fix it, by the looks of it, is to either uninstall the latest drivers, get an earlier version, or uninstall the Nvidia drivers altogether and let Windows install the drivers for you.
Only thing is, if the videocard you're using has TV out etc, they may not work with the MS default drivers.

I only ever get this error when I try to burn to a DVD in Nero 7 or any other burning software for that matter, I can brun any other format other than video I.E .avi .mpg etc etc so it's definatly a video card problem, where would I uninstal the nvdia drivers?
Update: It seems I was right assuming is not a hardware problem or at least not defective hardware (see post on Dec 19 2006).
The resource conflict got worse soon after my post and I had to keep disabling devices. I restored an earlier XP image backup and no more errors, even with all hardware installed and enabled.
In the process, I gave XP64, Mac OS X x86 and Vista a shot. I was surprised by the lack of XP64 drivers after it was out for a while. Not surprised by Vista lack of drivers, just concerned the XP64 driver status is a sign for Vista not planning to support other than newest hardware. Also disappointed with Vista "new features" (including "security") - I felt the OS is trying to prove to me I'm an idiot and I don't know how to properly use my PC and if I do want to change something important I'm either out of luck or I have to surf the net for hacks.Mac OS X was OK but I realized I have no other programs for Mac.
Long story short, for the last couple of months I'm running openSUSE 10.2 in dual boot with XP (for a couple of games). Also using VMware for a couple of XP programs I still need (from work). All hardware supported (including SLI - not supported by Vista when I tested).
So, same hardware - no more "IRQL not less ..." nor BSOD.
I also am having a similar problem I have had different motherboards I have had an MSI 2 times an ASrock and my current ASUS board with two crossfire ATI X1950XTX video cards and a basic DVD drive and hard drive with 2.5 Gb of Ram and everytime I start to install some sort of operating system I get to the blue screen tht says IRQ Not less Than Equal or something close to that and if I dont get tha one I get another blue screen that says beginning memory dump and it just freezes everything I have is brand new and it was working for a little bit I added nothing and then the video started getting all jumpy like the screen would glitch so i said hey lets completely re-format my hard drive so i did and as it was installing I got that blue screen I spent alot of money on this computer and i have spent alot of time messing with it I am very close to just scrapping the parts.. please someone help me Ive spent more than enough money to get a good computer that doesnt even work.
