Hi, I posted a topic about this in December 07.

I posted this now cause Sgforums wouldn't send me my account password that time.

Since that time, I still get BSOD very often. It's driving me crazy!

Mayi when you asked me to do a memory test, it's fine.

Then install window updates, it's a .NET Framework 2.0 update.. once I installed the update and when my computer starts,

window updates icon on my taskbar appears and when I download the update. It's the same NET Framework update.

When I installed the update, and start my comp again that same update will appear.

I got BSOD 4 times (since 1 hour ago).

Any solutions?

Edit : Whenever I get BSOD, I often see this message "IRQ not equal or less", it was "Driver IRQ not equal or less" the last BSOD.

It happens after the update or ?

Darkdrium SG

No, when I posted the topic that time I haven't updated.

It happened for very long already, I remember it started in December.

The last you posted, it worked fine, then problems occur again.

Go to Start > Run and type in msinfo32.exe and press Enter.

Under Hardware Resources, select Conflicts/Sharing. See what hardware is sharing resources with your nVidia graphics card.

You mean that time when I updated my driver? Yeah, but only for awhile.

It wasn't gone actually.

Anyway here's what it says.

Edit : I don't know how to read that file.

So any solutions for the BSOD?

You using wired or wireless connections?

Darkdrium SG

Using wired.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Hmm... it's just a rough guess only.

Disable your LAN connections (Start > Control Panel > Network Connections, right click on your connection and select Disable).

Then restart your computer. Use it as usual, but without the internet connections. See if it still BSOD.

Darkdrium SG

Alright will try that tomorrow, thanks.

If I got problem I will post it here again, if you can't really help guess I have to reformat then.

Looks like plugging out my Internet cable worked.

Before starting up my comp I plugged out the cable.

Started Windows, no BSOD so I plugged it back.

So far 3 and a half hours no BSOD.

Seems like it is solved.

Think your suggestion worked.

Although I am not 100% sure whether it's fixed.

Ty anyway

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Guess it's some conflicts between the ethernet port and the graphics card. They are sharing the same resources, so I need you to plug out the cable and disable your network connections temporarily.

Darkdrium SG

Hmmm.. it was fine for the past 2 days but today the damn BSOD is back.

Even with my internet cable unplugged, when started windows I suddenly get BSOD.

Got BSOD more than 4 times, most of time when browsing the internet and half-way get BSOD.

Could it be caused by GameGuard?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

LOL

For BSOD to keep occurring, only two reasons.

1. Problem not solve

2. Hardware issue. Hardware instability can lead to bad requests, causing Windows to crash.

You can try a repair install to minimize damage to your files, just need to reinstall all the programs.

I think newer versions of GameGuard do not really cause BSOD...

ndmmxiaomayi SG

It will depend on which version of graphics card that driver is talking to. Talk to a stubborn one, that's what you get.

Have you installed the latest driver from GeForce, ForceWare Release 169 released in December 19?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html

Uninstall your old driver and install the new driver.

Let us know if it helps.

Darkdrium SG

Yeah, I installed that long ago that's why I didn't update.

My driver is currently the latest (169.21).

That time I updated my driver still get BSOD, will try repairing Windows.

maurizio13 SG

Why not email their technical support?

They should know better on how to solve your problems.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Might not even be nVidia issue.

I think Realtek might be causing the problem. They have an udpated driver.

Download the drivers from one of these sites:

1. ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/nic/PCIE_Install_5686(installshield%2012_1.16)_0219.zip

2. ftp://152.104.238.19/cn/nic/PCIE_Install_5686(installshield%2012_1.16)_0219.zip

3. ftp://61.56.69.18/cn/nic/PCIE_Install_5686(installshield%2012_1.16)_0219.zip

Unzip the file and run setup.exe file.
