Irql_not_less_or_equal

I'll try that too.Loony, do you think it could be due to the motherboard?

its not impossible, but so far I don't think so.

I just had a hunch if the chipset driver isn't conflicting with the graphics driver?

its possible, what chipset is it, and does it have integrated video (and are you using the integrated)

My mobo is a Gigabyte Technology M61SME-S2L, nForce 405, integrated graphics nVidia 6100. I've never used the integrated one. I'm using the 8600GT i have.Sorry, i don't remember the chipset driver version, but i'm sure the default one that came with the mobo.

make sure the onboard graphics are disabled in the bios.

BIOS is set to "Enable if no external PEG", so it's off.

you can't set it to disabled? it could be the detection going weird.

Luk7nk4But if it's a HW malfunction, then it would occur randomly and not periodically? (correct me if i'm wrong)

It is obviously not starting randomly but when you try multimedia.Have you tried to remove your external GFX card and see if problem still occurs with integrated graphics?

@ loony
Nope, there's no "DISABLED" option in the BIOS.@ Username
I've tried that, had to fiddle around with the drivers, but it didn't help either. The onboard GFX had the same problem.

@ flashx 454Thanks for the suggestion, but i'm positive that Daemon Tools was the culprit. I'm currently running without DT and everything's running just fine :)

it's quite possible it was, daemon tools installs a driver and it could have been that driver fucking up.

Hmph, the only thing i need to do now is buy a new Diablo2+ Expansion set. Since i can't use my images and my old copy of D2 is worn beyond repair :(I just want to thank everyone for their help and suggestions :)
