Computer freezes with audio stuttering during all games

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.

Mini111709-01.dmpvent log shows categor 102 event 1003 each time

attaching mini dumps.

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?
