I think is related to my sound card drivers, but this happens on both my
Sound Blaster X-Fi card and my mobo's onboard sound, so I'm wondering if
Vista x64 is responsible for this too.
Whenever I click on a link that brings up WMP, it wil give me a BSOD and
reboot the computer. The same thing happens when I go to play Battlefield 2
and Battlefield 2142. If I go to Device Manager and disable the sound
completely, I no BSOD's from BF2142 or BF2 and I can click on as many online
videos that I want to and it doesn't give me a blue screen.
It has to be related to sound card drivers somehow, but what I don't
understand is why it affects both my onboard sound and my X-Fi card?
Here are my system specs:
Core 2 Quad Q6600, Asus P5B-E mobo, 4GB of Corsair PC5400 XMS DDR2 RAM,
GeForce 8800 GTX, Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty sound card, Corsair
HX620 PSU. I'm also dual booting with WinXP Pro w/SP2 and Windows Vista HP
64-bit.
Other than those two things, Vista is running great, but it's really
bothering me that I get these BSOD's with WMP and those two games. Sure
BF2142 says that it's only been tested with 32-bit OS's but I know the game
works with some people and like I said, I can get it to work fine if I
disable the sound completely. Also, in XP, everything works perfect with no
problems whatsoever so this only occurs in Vista x64.
I have all the latest patches to the games (other games work fine BTW) and I
have the latest BIOS to my mobo and everything else is up to day. I'm not
overclocking anything either. I'd greatly appreciate any input anyone has to
say.
Someone on the Creative forums mentioned that the latest X-Fi drivers
creates an IRQ conflict and I've tried earlier drivers and they do the same
thing; however, when I first install the drivers, I can sometimes load BF2142
completely and actually play. If I exit the game and try to come back
though, it crashes. Thing is, if it's a driver problem with the X-Fi card,
then why does it still occur with my onboard sound which has nothing to do
with Creative?
