Help! BSOD!

[johntp]

I use Windows XP Service Pack 2 and lately I have been getting the following BSOD:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

At the bottom of the error message it displays a file name - ALCXWDM.SYS that it says is the cause for the error.

I have got this error about 3 times now. I get the error when I play Hitman Contracts.

What should I do? Please help.

Looks like u need to reinstall your audio drivers.

The driver file indicates the sound is onboard and you have installed MS drivers. Download and install audio drivers from manufacturers website.

Audio Driver

Its just a few days since I reinstalled windows. I tried updating my audio , AC97 audio driver to the Latest that I got from Digit DVD and my system kept rebooting.

Thats why I reinstalled Windows.

Can any one help?

I also once used to get
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
in Stop Screens.........

My problem was my RAM........ Even it used to so some *.sys files problems.......... But I had a RAM problem............
So, I doubt you even have a hardware problem rather than a driver problem
