Curse

Just putting an FYI out there that I got my first ever Blue Screen of Death on my current machine...

I've got the machine configured to do mini-dumps and have the windows support and debugging tools installed. After looking at the mini-dump it seems that the problem might be in ha10kx2k.sys which is a driver for my SoundBlaster Audigy2ZS.

The driver version is 5.10.12.1162 and is dated 8/29/2005.

windbg !analyze -v gives the following info:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: a72f33e8, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: b7a20048, address which referenced memory

---------

I've never had a crash before GW.exe that blew me all the way out of windows. At any rate I'm just posting this to see if anyone has had the same thing happen and also as a "be on the lookout" post.

My system is not OC'd and I'm running an Athlon X2 4800 with 2 Gigs RAM and a 6600GT. Nothing fancy.

EDIT: Just as a follow-up my sound driver is about a year out of date. I'm installing the newest version from Creative and hopefully this will remedy the problem.
