Guys, I am shooting in the dark here and I certainly could use advice from people who are far more knowlegeable than I am about sound cards. Since I built my rig 4 months ago I periodically get the infamous STOP Error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL. Through my research the best I have come up with is that it is a hardware issue.
1. I've read that the earlier Logitech MX mice - I have a MX310 - drivers and a particular kernel in Windows XP conflict. I downloaded the latest driver from Logitech 3 months ago so that should have taken care of any conflicts. However, I experienced another system crash a few days ago.
2. My question is could it be my sound card? M-Audio no longer supports this card with drivers. The latest one is two years old. Now a lot of people like this card and still use it, but I know of at least one person who also has issues and believes that M-Audio's drivers conflict with nForce4 chipsets. I have no way of verifying this. He too experiences the same Stop Error and the only thing our PCs have in common is this card.
System Specs:
EPoX 9NPA+Ultra
Athlon 64 3200+ venice
2 gigs of Crucial ballistix 3200 RAM
X800 GTO video card with the very latest driver
(2) DVD Lite On Drives
Seagate SATA harddrive
Windows XP Professional with SP2
I appreciate any help you can give. I'm at a loss. Thanks.
