From: noname87 on 17 Sep 2006 12:26 I have a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-7VTXH) that has the sound chip (creative CT5880) on the mb. For some reason the sound device keeps stopping to work. I reload the drivers (current from Gigabyte site) and everything works. Then the next day I have no sound (even if I never turn the machine off). The device manager says everything is working and there are no conflicts. The sound/audio section of the control panel will say there is no device installed. Any idea what is going on? I am running Windows XP and the the system has been stable for three years. No new software in the last six months. Also I have been getting the blue screen of dath with the message "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Are these problems related? Any ideas. Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers doesn't seem to work. Update drivers hasn't worked. I am not trying generic Windows XP driver to see if that works. I am trying to figure out if: 1) Is this a driver problem? 2) Is the motherboard dieing? 3) Is this an IRQ problem? According to the device manager each device has its own IRQ

From: noname87 on 17 Sep 2006 20:59 Thanks. Where do I find the page file? I uninstalled the sound drivers. I rebooted the computer and XP found the devices and installed MS driver. I then did a windows update and install the current MS drivers for the creative sound chip. Started the machine today. Eveything worked. Left it running for 8 hours and got an "Generic host process for win32 services ...." eror and the sound no longer worked. Turned the machine off. Turn back on and everything works again. Any ideas?
