I just did a fresh reinstall of Windows XP SP2 and all the updates and get a blue screen every once in awhile.

Blue screen gives this message.

KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR

error

STOP: 0x00000077, 0xC0000185 0xC0000185, 0x00000000,0x 0x01E21000

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315266
0xC0000185, or STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR: improper termination or defective cabling of SCSI-based devices, or two devices attempting to use the same IRQ.

No SCSI in the system just SATA and the built in realtek sound is sharing IRQ 21 with the SATA drive controler.

How do I get them to stop sharing IRQ 21. I tried reinstalling the sound drivers from both bioware and realtek's site both take it to IRQ 23 but reboot and no sound then reboot again and back on IRQ 21 and I have sound again.

Any ideas?

If the SATA was on a separate card, I'd recommend putting it in another PCI slot, but since it's built in your only options are what the BIOS lets you change. You could also try getting a chep PCI sound card, and disabling the onboard sound, just a cheap $10 card would do. Let us know how it goes.

by any chance you wouldnt happen to have jumpers on your pci cards for irqs and com addresses

or did they do away with that years ago?

Don't have any pci cards everything is built in.

Well after the last blue screen/reboot got a new blue screen error saying unmountable boot volume.

Reinstalled XP again and ran WD data lifeguard tool, which I had ran before this reinstall with with no errors, returned a error 07 and 01-08 say return the drive. Called to make sure and they said RMA. This is the second RMA and will be the 3rd drive in this computer. Oh well now my dad's drive will be almost a year newer than it was.
