    Hey

    Right i've a wee problem that has suddenly occured with my pc. I've been making music on it for about 2 years running a USB Edirol UA25 audio interface and USB M-Audio controller. They've all been bumbling along together quite happily until i left the computer downloading one day and returned home to find i could'nt boot up my PC. I unplugged the USB stuff and was allowed to boot up. After trying to resolve the problem myself, re-installing XP and doing a lot of swearing i now turn to you, the good people who know far more than me about computers. What i've worked out so far is that i keep getting IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL signs and the blue screen of death. this leads me to believe it's a IRQ conflict but i'm damned if i can work out how to sort that myself. Apart from telling me why the hell this had to happen could anyone out there help? I can give more information if needed and you would be making a very frustrated musician happy. Nice one

    Take a look in C:\Windows\Minidump, zip up some of the .dmp files and attach them here.
