    I get either a BSOD with IRQ_not less etc. message or I get a complete lock everyone time I play a flash or cd/dvd game.

    system athlon 64 3400+ 2.39 ghz
    2 GB Ram
    Windows XP media center SP2
    Linksys wireless G USB adapter
    Soundblaster audigy 4
    nvidia geforce 9400GT

    I have switched video cards, tried removing soundblaster, swapped ram chips with no success.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    Typical of a bad sound card... I suspect your Audigy 4 Soundblaster has cooked its own goose from long use.

    I tried taking out the sound card with no improvement but I didn't uninstall the just disabled and removed from the machine.

    Would that change anything?
