PC keeps crashing

[Irish Amatuer]

Hello,

I have a Compaq at home and it has been crashing and performing extremely slow for some time now. When i realised that there was only 64MB RAM i immediately purchased another 256MB.

This has speeded up my system a bit. Althought it is only 300Mhz CPU. It will suit me for the time been as i am only using for home work.

My problem is that it still crashes. This is getting to be quiet annoying as you all will recognise. Everytime it crashes i get the following code on the Blue Screen;

DPAL Error

Abnormal Parameter Passed in...... in file
.\hdlc.c at line 550


Can somebody please let me know as to what is causing this problem and how can i fix it?

Awaiting eagerly

Ken
