Just another guy rambling about the same problem.... I was experiencing the same
bsod problems that most of you here have or were experiencing, which led me here
to figure out what I needed to do to fix it.. I was getting page fault in nonpaged
area errors, irq not less or equal, usb_hub.sys error, win32k.sys, bad_pool_caller,
you name it.... I did notice earlier that my usb ports and nic were using the same
IRQ (10, evidently shared with no conflicts) and that If I disabled one or the other
in device manager the computer would instantly be more stable. This was a problem
because I had A. no internet(that sucks) or B. no wireless keyboard/mouse (awww).
But the problem was easier to fix than I thought, I just moved the nic card to the
bottom slot and things were immediately stable. The nic is now on IRQ 11, the USB
ports are on 10, and I haven't had a pc crash in at LEAST 10 minutes!! fantastic
btw I am running XPpro, AMD2100xp, soyo dragon lite, audigy 1 platinum, 512ddr, Geforce3
64mb, and an old linksys nic (lne100txv4 i believe)
Check all your IRQ's in device manager to see if you have more than one device using
the same IRQ. Even if it says there are no conflicts, try moving your pci cards around.
Wow it's been 15 minutes now, this is awesome
