My setup -> Asus P4PE, P4 3.06Ghz, 512MB PC3200 DDR (one stick), AGP slot = Geforce3 Ti500, NO pci cards installed, onboard SoundMAX Cadenza. I'm getting the Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD all the time when running OpenGL games (mostly Counter-strike). I've read a few threads about the error and basically found 2 MAIN causes of the problem: 1) Bad and/or incompatible RAM (this better not be my problem cuz I paid for the best DDR ram I could get), 2) IRQ conflicts. I proceeded under the assumption that my problem was due to IRQ conflicts, so I went to Device Manager -> View -> Resources by Connection. Nothing is sharing IRQs except my graphics card and one of 3 USB Universal Host Controllers. The 3 controllers are using IRQs 16,18, and 19. My graphics card is using IRQ 16, and my soundcard IRQ 17. I'm going to try removing the USB controller on IRQ 16, hopefully this doesnt cause any problems, although my only USB device is my mouse. Other things I've read and noticed with my system are with my onboard sound card. I've read some places that people are having problems with onboard sound and bad drivers for them. This might also be a cause of my problem, because I have some strange things happening with my soundcard. The most annoying is when I'm playing a game (usually CS), my sound randomly stops, and I have to alt-tab and open the SoundMAX controlpanel to make the sound turn back on. It happens pretty often and its really annoying. The other REALLY weird thing is this: I can actually HEAR my computer "thinking" through my headphones. It's like I'm getting audio interference from the CPU or the ram or something. I get weird low volume buzzes, squeeks and static whenever anything happens on the computer. Whenever I move my mouse, drag a window around, I get this weird sound interference. It happens quite bad in games too. I hear CONSTANT weird low-volume noises especially in CS. I'm not sure if the sound interference is a part of the problem, but It is very annoying. If anyone else has a SoundMAX onboard audiocard, and is having problems, please post a reply. Also if anyone knows any solutions to the BSOD related to IRQ conflicts, sound drivers, graphics drivers, etc, please reply to this thread :( If I find any solutions to my problem I'll post back here ASAP with what I was able to do.
