Ughhh...I have no clue what to do-In an earlier thread sickbeast reccomended the usual check ram and such, but I found out that my BSODs are due to an error in "smwdm.sys" I know this is a soundmax file, but I updated, cleaned, einstalled the drivers. Also over the weekend I had someone install a vga silencer for my 9800 pro, but he also connected all the leads that I didn't know how to. If anyone has similar problems or can help please post! Desperation Sucks !!!!
I have an Asus K8V SE Mobo with built in 5.1 sound and a A64 2800+
Thanks,
Kishan

And if you remove the Soundmax cards (ie disable it in the BIOS) the issue goes away completely ? If so, seems like it's time to try other drivers or else get a new card with reliable drivers...
