Bsod

Ive been getting BSOD's lately when I'm watching videos in web browsers
and when I'm playing "age of conan", but not any other games.. It seems
like the BSOD's started some time around when i installed Conan but im
not sure if its the game or maybe a driver i updated befor i installed
the game..

The BSOD says "IRQL not less than or equal to"


This is the error thats comes up when it reboots to windows

Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.

what's your temps under load ? also sometimes it helps to uninstall your
video drivers
and reboot then update the drivers again..

STOP 0x0000000A or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
A kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory location
without authorization. This Stop error is typically caused by faulty or
incompatible hardware or software. The name of the offending device
driver often appears in the Stop error and can provide an important clue
to solving the problem. If the error message points to a specific device
or category of devices, try removing or replacing devices in that
category. If this Stop error appears during Setup, suspect an
incompatible driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup program.

Huh?

That would be the first time I've ever heard of a sound card causing a
BSOD during a game.

It's definitely a hardware problem, but my bet is that the sound card
is dead last in any consideration - if it's being considered at all.
