Could be different things, driver, hardware, data corruption...some reading Here (http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?mode=s&cat=false&query=driver_irql_not_less_or_equal&srch=sup&x=14&y=3)

Also some more detailed information might be helpful, system specs, how much RAM total, exact error message...

Good chance of that being the case(incompatibility). Even if the speed matches, there might be a difference in the density of the modules or chips as I discovered when adding a new chip to an existing older one.

The other thing I'd suggest is going into the BIOS setup and checking that you have default "timing" settings for the RAM.
