Ok, after nearly a week of reinstalling and reformatting, I have stumbled across the only viable problem that keeps causing my Windows XP to blue screen. I have been told that their is a Device Driver problem, after much research, I coulden't find it. I do believe that after downloading a third party diagnostic that I have located the problem. My sound card (Hercules Gamesurround MUSE XL) is attempting to share an IRQ with my Network Card (Realtek Fast Ethernet). Both cards, which are supposed to be PnP are trying to share IRQ 17. Is this normal (I pretty sure its not.) and is their a way to force an IRQ assignment to a PnP card (I don't care which one) or, should I scrap the card, and purchase a new one? Any help would be aprreciated.
