Dear fellow anandtechers:

I installed ¡°2000 professional¡± in my machine, and I am having two major problems.

1. When I play media player 7, I am keep getting ¡°DRIVER_IRQL_NOT LESS OR EQUAL¡± messages. This blue screen of death message is driving me nuts.
2. When the computer tries to go into the ¡°standby mode¡±, I am getting a message that the Intel network card integrated with motherboard is preventing the computer to go into the standby mode.

I tried everything that I could possible do, and still does not work properly, so I am reaching out to you guys for help. If I remember correctly, we had a thread for gateway 6400 tech support, but it seems like that it is no longer with us (searched the site but could not find it anywhere. Anyone knows why it was removed?). If anyone had same or similar problem, or know how to fix these problems, please let me know how to fix it.

Following are the specs of my computer: (Gateway 6400 Server +)

1. Running Dual CPU.
2. ATI Radeon 32mb SDR PCI Bus Version
3. Philips Rhythmic Edge (PSC702 3D PCI) Sound Card
4. 512mb Crucial Registered ECC CL2 memory

Also, following are the things that I tried before:
1. Installed SR-2 for win2k pro
2. Updated Video Driver
3. Searched MS knowledge base and ran ¡°emergency repair¡± as the site suggested.
4. Installed SR-1 for MS office
5. Have no other programs installed other than win2k pro, office 2000, and other basic drivers needed for the computer to run.
6. Couldn¡¯t update the sound driver since Philips site does not have any PSC702 product listed. (don¡¯t know why)
7. Tried to completely reinstalling OS 3 times already.

If anyone knows how to fix theses please let me know.

Thanks a million in advance.
:)
