Gainward GF3 ti200 problems

[benhar]

Has anyone had any IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL blue screen problems with the Gainward GF3's? I put mine in a few days ago and it has been crashing ever since. What is the best way to address this problem?

drivers? OS?

Try checking your IRQ settings

Oops, forgot about that. I'm running Windows XP, and have tried both Gainward's and Nvidia's 23.11 drivers. In case it is relavent, I am using an ECS K7S5A mb and a Game Theater XP for sound.

Also, how do I check my IRQ settings? I have never done that before.

Thanks

It's the GTXP that's your problem. The 3.02 drivers are broken. Hercules took the tech forums down but you could've found novels written on the IRQ-not-less issue. Hercules tech support says new drivers are on the way but they're not here yet. Either install another sound card for the time being or deal with it. I had the same issue with the 3.02 but I was able to use the 2.02 since I'm on Win2k.

Good luck.

*EDIT* I have several emails with tech support on the issue if you want me to forward them to you. You may be able to help the problem by turning off the SPDIF inputs. Do a search for EMPIRE EARTH on Anand's software forum to find the SPDIF registry entries to edit. Let me know if it helps.

Thanks for the help. Are you saying that the GTXP alone is the problem or that the GTXP is causing problems because of the GeForce 3? I did not have this problem until I put in the video card. If you could forward me those e-mails it would be great. e-mail

Thanks again

Well... Here I am an idiot. I can't find my tech support emails. The best I can say is check out some of the threads at 3D Soundsurge
