IRQ Problems? HELLLPPPPP!!!!!

FASC · Mar 3, 2003, 02:04 AM

My computer seems to be alergic to my Audigy!

When I'm playing (e.x. C&C Generals, Crazy Taxi, GTA3, etc, etc) or simply when I'm working in Windows, after a while the computer just hangs with a Blue Screen (IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)....

Okay, I went to Creative's Forum, and the solution was to isolate an IRQ to the Audigy. So I did it, and somehow it seemed to work for a day. But the problem is back... I'm sick of this Audigy card, it almost went outside for a ride under my car's tires...

Anyway, any sugestions?

Portuguese WinXP + SP1
GF4 Ti4200 (Creative)
Audigy Player
XP 2000+
A7V333 w/ 512MB PC2700
No overclock.

HHHEEEEEELLLLLPPPP....

I would recommend you check and see what if your computer is setup as a "Standard PC" or an Advanced ACPI setup. You go under "Device Manager" to find this info. You also might try changing what controls your IRQ interupts. If you have the setting for Windows to control this try changing it to "off".

Before you do that...
Is APIC Function (in BIOS) Enabled or Disabled?

APIC is enable, instead of PIC. Anyway, I've noticed that the problem vanished taking out the LAN card... Lets see until when it'll work. (I ran to the store to buy a USB cable today, to have internet through my Broadband modem, instead the traditional LAN connection. Thank god I don't have an intranet...)

Thanks everyone...

I once had a problem with my ISDN card and Audigy (crackles, pops etc.).
It was solved when I rearranged my PCI cards and replaced this ISDN with working one (it was partially bad).

I was fighting with IRQ's for a week, then I posted this thread.... I did almost everything. I usually don't get around bugging other people before I get desperate... Anyway, I think I did it. Maybe I'll try to move the LAN card around the PCI's and/or switch once more the IRQ's, this time LAN's one. At least I know where it came from!
