http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314063Your seeing this error because your attempting to boot your new machine from a Windows XP install that was configured to run on different hardware. There is shouldn't be anything wrong with the drive. IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors are usualy caused by a driver conflicts. New computer Blue screen

Hey man,Your post is a bit unclear...did you install the HD and then install Windows? If that's the case, then it doesn't seem likely it's a hardware mismatch...I've had instances in the past of blue screens (with that error, even), that were related to bad/unhappy RAM. It does happen sometimes that the RAM just doesn't agree with the motherboard, too, in which case I'd return the RAM if you can and buy a brand that's recommended in your motherboard manual.If you think it's a bad stick, and you've got more than one stick in the machine, I'd try swapping them out and just run the system with one stick and see if it makes a difference.Good luck!
