Well, i first installed WinXP, and i got the error al the time, while playing games,
running any application, burning etc etc. Since i got my Nvidea GF 4 TI 4200 it only
occurs when i`m running a game or any other graphic application. So the burning problem
was gone. then i installed Win98 again and the problem seemed to be solved, but after
1 week or so the problems started all over again. 4/5 times a day the darn system
chrashes. Win98 doesn`t tell me wether or not it is a "IRQ not less or equal" error,
but i suppose it is. I thought my Sb live! 5.1 and my GF 4 didn`t work out together
on one IRQ so i moved the Sb. Now they are on seperate IRQ`s but still the problem
continues...
i`am desperate cause everytime i`m trying to do something on the pc the darn thing
collapses... anyone know`s a solution??
i would be very gratefull.
greetings Tom
ps. sorry for the long story :)
