Ok, first up: my rig and problem. MSI K7T266 RU MoBo Athlon XP2100+ Cpu 256 Meg Apacer DDR2100 Ram. Asus Geforce2 MX VGA (AGP Slot) SB Live Value Audio (PCI Slot 4) IBM EtherPro NIC (PCI Slot 2) I was getting fairly constant DRIVER IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors whenever i was playing games. I tried shuffling IRQs, changing ram, , adjusting BIOS options including AGP settings, PNP settings, intergrated peripheral settings, reinstalling OSs (I tried XP, 2000 and 98, they all constantly crashed) and finally tried playing with the cards. My solution involved removing the SB Live from PCI slot 4, and clearing the mainboard NVRAM, and reinstalling XP. The system seems stable now. Whether that means the slot is dodgey, or the resources are finally happy, I don't care... The SB Live card is fine, and has served me well for ages. I am using onboard AC97 sudio for now, until I could be bothered trying another PCI slot. NOTE: this is my solution, I have no idea if it will help your situations or not.
