Hi!. Sorry but my english isn't so good. Well, I have the same problem on Windows
Xp (when I close eMule). My computer is an Athlon XP 1600, Elite Group Motherboard
K7S5A series with soundcard (disabled) and LAN (enabled) integrated, Aopen Geforce
2 TI, Soundblaster Live! Value, Realmagic Hollywood +, 256 Mb RAM, SCSI controller
to CD-ROM unit and Seagate Barracuda 80 Gb (7200 rpm).
I have read all the messages of this forum and I have done all things that people
says: I checked the RAM, I changed the DDR RAM module to other SDRAM; I try to change
the IRQs bacause the Soundblaster, the SCSI adapter and the Realmagic use the same
Interruption; I installed the Microsoft certificated drivers to these devices; I
checked the virtual memory options; I installed the last motheboard bios... Nothing,
the problem DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL appears again and again (only when I close
eMule). I'm going crazy!!!.
Yesterday I unplugged the Soundblaster Live!, the SCSI adapter and the Realmagic,
the motherboard soundcard is disabled and the LAN enabled because I have DSL connection,
I only left the AGP Geforce 2 card. There is nothing in the PCI ports actually but
this morning the problem returned. I can't believe it. I'm going to scan the hard
drive or try to plug a PCI Ethernet card and disable the onboard LAN. Can I do anything
else??? Destroy my computer maybe??. Please I need help!!!!!!!. Thanks.
