Jeabus Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Ever since installing XP I have had this BSOD occur seemingly at random. I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this. I have looked everywhere for info, but have come up with nothing. I belive this may have something to do with my sound card, as it seemed to go away after removing my SB Live!. I installed an Audigy soundcard today hoping it would not suffer the same fate. Well, I have received yet another one. I have also updated my BIOS to the latest version. If anyone could offer some help, I would appreciate it. I will probably take this card back and get a non-creative card to see if that will help. System --------- Windows XP AMD Athalon 850 512 MB RAM GeForce 2 GTS running latest reference drivers. Sound Blaster Audigy (Was running a SB Live!) Amptron Motherboard. PCCHIP model M807, with VIA KT133 chipset. Using latest 4 in 1 drivers. Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 NIC Let me know if there is anything else I should add. Thanks! -Jeabus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtgriffith Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 It might help if you listed the entire BSOD. STOP 0x0000000A(0xWWWWWWWW, 0xXXXXXXXX, 0xYYYYYYYY, 0xZZZZZZZZ) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ** Address 0xZZZZZZZZ has base at - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtgriffith Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 I used to paste links to the articles I found in the Knowledge Base but for some reason they quit working. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...d=fh;rid;kbinfo and search for article Q165863 Troubleshooting "Stop 0x0A" Messages in Windows.

Jeabus Posted January 15, 2002 Author Share Posted January 15, 2002 Thanks. I appreciate your help. It looks like Creative Sound Cards are not playing well in my system. I suppose I will have to look for another non-Creative sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtgriffith Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Where did you get your sound card driver and what version is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 did you do the little registry boost? the irq#priority boost reg, cuz i had that same problem before too, except it was when i burn cd's. before, if i am "multi-tasking" and burning, it would almost always BSOD. but after i removed the reg. entry, no BSOD since.

Jeabus Posted January 15, 2002 Author Share Posted January 15, 2002 mtgriffith, I installed the drivers off of the CD that came with it and then ran the SB Audigy XP update. This is what the Sound Blaster website told me I was supposed to do. They do not appear to offer a complete driver package. The Driver Version under XP says "Not Available" for the SB Audigy. According to Direct X Diagnostics the main file is e10kx2k.sys which is version 5.12.01.0134 and is signed. nomis_nehc, I am not familliar with that "registry boost". I will have to look into that. Any info you could provide for me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I thing the "registry boost" is a tweak that was posted a couple of days ago. https://www.neowin.net/bboard/showthread.ph...=&threadid=2880 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I used to get that problem a lot due to an incorrect memory setting. Setting cas 3 memory to cas 2 can cause this error, as can a bad memory module (although that would probably be very apparent). Might also help to move your sound card to a different pci slot, or try switching bios/os irq control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisher Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 mmm... running xp here too, and have gotten a few of BSOD's of these kinds too, not because of Live! card that I have, but seems its flunking out from geforce drivers, at least been a lot more stable with but more recent ones than the ones shipped with XP itself. Try different display drivers, preferred after the set that comes with xp itself, theyre all worthless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3onheart Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I used to have those and it was due to a bad memory stick. I replaced it and it now runs perfectly. And this is an NT/XP related problem why is it in the Win9x forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomis_nehc Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 the reg boost is a little add-in for the registry, check here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsystemCurrentControlSetControlPriorityControl if you have a IRQ#Priority in there, remove it, see if that fix your problem... seeing how you don't know what i am talking about, it's unlikely, heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterbug Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I got the same problem with SB live, what i did was only installing the drivers and nothing else. I havent seen that message for a long time :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=De-Sade=- Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I've had simular errors on two boxes, one a laptop and one a desktop. I would get the 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' error when i tried to access a network, or play a movie. Heres the solution i found:- Uninstall NAV 200x... Reboot... Reinstall NAV 200x... But DON'T update the program... Just Download and update the Virus Def's... I haven't had an error for over two months now... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I kept getting that error upon shutdown until I uninstalled Easy CD Creator 5. I guess that it would mean the error is related to CD burning because I got different errors when it was my graphics drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neoguigui Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I've got exactly the same error!!! but i know it's because of my MP3 Player Aiwa mm-ex300 when i load liquidplayer (the software icluded with it) it crashes my comp and says 'irq not less or equal' or displays an error about my graphic card !!!! i think it's because of usb in xp and the driver included if it can help you! anyone have the same problem here !? i need help!! please!!

Jeabus Posted January 19, 2002 Author Share Posted January 19, 2002 DOH! I could have sworn I clicked the NT/2000/XP Forum. That explains the difficulty I was having with finding my thread again. Sorry about that. If a moderator reads this, could you please move this to the apropriate forum. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have tried many of them before (changing slots, changing ram settings), but the only thing that really seemed to work was removing the Creative cards. I'm still working on getting a non-creative card in hopes that will work. I have been running the on-board sound my motherboard has and I have not had the problem yet.

mtgriffith Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 I find it difficult to really turn onboard hardware off even if the BIOS has a setting for it. I bet the onboard sound will not get along with any brand card you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Otto Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 hey mortensen, if its ez cd creator 5 makin problems, go download the updates for xp ---- http://www.roxio.com/en/support/ecdc/;jses...EJNBLT33IAVR3KQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 hrmm, seems like the reg boost may not be the real problem causer... i formatted 2 days ago and last night, boom, BSOD with the IRQ crap hit me... i was pretty shocked of course... then i began to think what i have diff than before... turns out that it's because i am using a detonator driver that "didn't" work with my comp. well, now i am back to 22.40, and all's well.
