I'm getting a system crash everytime I play a certain game. My computer runs flawlessly with any other game or application. So far, I've re-installed the game and updated video driver that's WHQL. Problem still persists.

Now, I'm thinking it's a IRQ conflict because I just installed a Logitech Steering Wheel/Pedals. Thing is, the two other racing sims I play with the wheel there is zero problems. I know XP is designed to run several things on one IRQ but it has me wondering.

I have the .dmp file from my last dump, how or what do I use to view it? The only thing I catch during the dump is: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I tried to write down a .sys file and codes that I seen but I wasn't fast enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jason
 
The IRQL error has nothing to do with IRQ's. It's usualy a driver issue, but sometimes can be related to memory issues as well, so I would try running memtest. It's also possible to be a problem with the game itself.

Send me the dump plus the yourcomputername.cab file from MPSReports, and I'll see if I can take a look at it and see something.
 
I finally figured out the problem. It was the audio driver file nvmcp.sys that was causing the blue screens. I updated the Nvidia codec package to the next WHQL package. Thanks for the suggestions and help. :beer:

Way to go! So that others can see how to resolve these problems, what did you do and how did you know it was that particular file?
