I had this problem as well on an HP Pavillion running XP and I had a virus. My scanner
wouldnt work, my files were corrupted, i was getting the IRQ error/ blue screen,
therefore I was forced to drink for many many days. Anyway, If you download this
nifty FREE tool here called antikelz.exe: http://www.webattack.com/get/antiklez.shtml
you can check for any viruses that are lurking amongst your goodies.. also make sure
that you have all security patches up to date, cause like.. i think some loser actually
came onto my computer and planted stuff in my downloads file.. which is not a very
nice thing to do..
also i found that reinstalling my old video drivers helped as well.. regardless,
after cleaning off viruses and reinstalling video drivers, I would crash with the
same error after installing ANYTHING (updates, porn) .. so i had to do a system restore.
ok, so this isnt the happiest advice but at least you can do a restore and save your
files.. just run the virus scan first and if you have an HP running XP dont like
update the NVidia drivers.. ok?
chow ya later
