BSoD help

[highpothesis]

everytime i use the program azureus to download torrents
i get the blue screen. it only seems to occur when i use that program. I was trying to learn how to read the minidump files myself but everything is complicated.

this is what shows up at the blue screen:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

ill put up the files for anyone to take a look.
any help is much appreciated

A simplistic answer is that it's a PCI device and may be clashing with other devices -- Interrupts, IRQs, memory address -- that sort of thing. XP is pretty good at allowing devices to share resources but this may conceal problems.

Try moving the WG311 to a different PCI slot. Go into the BIOS and disable devices you don't use -- Game Port, COM ports, Printer/Parallel port.

And possibly check for updated drivers again
Or just get a new Network card !!!

 

[highpothesis]

anyways thanks for the quick response. ill let you know how it goes
