I’ve recently acquired an AMD Athlon X2 running XP SP2. It’s got 2GB of memory. The video card is a GeForce 8600 GT.
Starting on Tuesday Nov. 6, any time I play a video, be it either an .mpg, .wmv or .ati, with either WMP or Nero 8, just after it starts I get a BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, with codes 0x0a (0x16, 1C, 00, 80502392) Generally the forth address is the same but sometimes it varies.
I have updated the Nvidia video driver to the latest (Nov. 6th), I have run memtest for about 14 hours – clean. Just in case, I’ve selectively removed the 1GB memory cards – no difference, and I’ve even run the “verifier” program on all drivers, and it STILL BSODed (I thought Verifier was supposed to trap bad IRQL’s?).
Sometimes a small video will play successfully. But if I switch from WMP to Nero, BSOD. Other times even the WMP will BSOD as well. I have tried this on different video files in case they get corrupted – no difference.
Strangely enough, YouTube video’s seem to work, but Yahoo video’s BSOD.
I’m getting very frustrated, and am tempted just to wipe and rebuild. What suggestions does anyone have that might be either a solution, or an area to test?
Thanks very much!
