Hows this for trying to fix this:
On shuttle SK41G with FX41 mainboard (via chipset)-
running originally-
AMD 1700+
256MB RAM
NvGF3 128MB
WD 120GB HDD
WinTV TunerCard
Pioneer A03 DVDRW
The system ran fine for some time, then for no reason I can see it started random
shutdown and reboots. This evolved into the IRQL blue screen errors. I have since
removed all software, all hardware, and even built a new system with a new SK41G
barebones. New RAM, HDD, the works. The system now looks like this-
AMD 1700+
512MB RAM
Onboard Graphics 32 MB shared
Maxtor 120GB HDD
Same errors, even after a new system install AND removing the DVDRW. The ONLY thing
left here is the 1700+ and winXP. I noticed in the IRQs that there was some overlap
with the USB and Multimedia features, but this is all onboard, and other than the
bios upgrade from Shuttle I don't know what I can do for that.
I have a 2200+ on order, but I am betting that it I installed win2k I'd be fine.
If you have time and a tip for me, I would greatly appreciate it!! Good luck to you
other IRQL victims.
