Computer crashing (sound related?)

[Ken]

Over the past 2 months my computer has been crashing at
random times, always when I'm playing some type of sound.
The dump files usually point to some driver of Nvidia or
Creative, but I've tried different video and sound cards
(in a seperate PCI slot as well) and the problem still
occured. I also reformatted and ran memory tests.

I'm not really sure what the problem could be but it
always says it's a serious system error after it
restarts. After reporting it, it used to just say it was
an error detected by my CPU but now it simply says unknown.

I think it started happening after installing the latest
SB Audigy drivers some time in August but since then I've
uninstalled the Audigy and installed a Turtle Beach Santa
Cruz.

Any ideas?

What error to do with your cpu?????? detected or was to do with your cpu?

Did you uninstall the old drivers before you installed the latest ones? This
can be easyily done if at first installing drivers from disc and then
updating them later. If not, uninsall the old drivers from add/remove and
then reinstall the new ones unless you need the earlier drivers as part of
the update. Try applying this to both nvidia and audigy drivers.
