Alright, for the better part of a year, my computer has been crashing for apparently no good reason.  I could be surfing the net, watching a DivX or XviD encoded video, or writing in Microsoft Word and my computer will suddenly crash (It will blue screen, due a memory dump and hang; when I SET it to do so.  Otherwise it just shuts off and a very quiet siren goes off in my motherboard and I have unplug the PC for about two minutes to reset the jumpers).

I'm running on an nForce2 chipset with the Audio, Lan, and Video integrated.  I'm using Windows XP, using 2 256mb DDR PC2700 (333 MHz) RAM, AMD Athlon XP 2400+, the motherboard uses Dual Channel memory, and I haven't overclocked it.

The reason I believe it is an IRQ PROBLEM is because I have tested my RAM extensively and nothing has come as a result.  I then took a look at my IRQs (after the IT teacher in my school suggested) and, although there is supposed to be a maximum of 15 IRQs, I have 18 in total.  More surprising is that some of them seem to be on Channels higher than 15.  My exact IRQ settings are below...

IRQ SUMMARY

(ISA) 0  System timer
(ISA) 1  Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
(ISA) 3  Communications Port (COM2)
(ISA) 4  Communications Port (COM1)
(ISA) 5  MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device
(ISA) 6  Standard floppy disk controller
(ISA) 8  System CMOS/real time clock
(ISA) 9  Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
(PCI) 11 NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management
(ISA) 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse
(ISA) 13 Numeric data processor
(PCI) 16 NVIDIA GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU
(PCI) 20 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller NVIDIA(R)
(PCI) 20 nForce(TM) Audio Codec Interface Standard
(PCI) 21 Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller NVIDIA®
(PCI) 21 nForce(TM) IDE Controller
(PCI) 22 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
(per) 22 NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter

The other reason why I think it's the IRQs is because everytime I add a NEW USB device, the PC calms down with the crashing.  Meaning, it crashes significantly less.

If anybody can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.Also, my DMAs are as follows...

Sorry, I just realized that I actually have 14 as a few of them are shared on one channel, but still, I find the distribution a bit weird...Control panel....admin tolls performance tab>>events log......what do it tell you........what is the error code on the bsod....stop .irq_less_equal... Quote
