Ok, I get random lockups and blues screens when I play any kind of movie file. It doesn't matter what player I use. I've tried all kinds.

The message on the blue screen was "driver irq not less than or equal to...", or something to that effect.

I've tried reformatting and reinstalling windows. I've swapped out sound cards and video cards. I've removed all the other cards from my system and run it with just sound and video. I've used a dozen different driver versions with my video and sound cards. I've also tried switching my computer from APIC back to standard PC for the IRQ assignments. Basically, I've tried all my limited knowledge of computers allows me to.

If anybody has any ideas or possibly knows what's going on, I'd really appreciate some help.

Here are my system specs:

Athlon 1900 +
1 gig of PC133 SDram
2 40 gig IBM HD in a RAID 0 array
Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard.
Radeon 8500
Sound blaster live 5.1 sound card.
Windows XP SP1
