I'm using an x-fi soundblaster and in one particular game the computer keeps
crashing to blue stop screen at random intervals. It always blames
ha20x2k.sys which is a sound driver file and this only happens when the card
is in 'game mode' with eax effects enabled. I've tried using the creative
and the Dell drivers.
I'm assuming these are the latest drivers available from each of Dell
and Creative? What's the rest of the BSOD error?
You could try tech support at Dell, Eax, and the vendor of the unnamed
game to see if they have any thoughts.
Dunno how much heat the card generates in "full bore" mode, but you
could also check to see if it's getting enough cooling airflow. I'd
also check the video card and CPU for cooling, maybe the BSOD error is
itself erroneous...
Google gets 81 hits for ha20x2k.sys, have you looked those over to see
if you could try some of those solutions? For instance, changing PCI
slot will give you different interrupts and potentially solve
interrupt conflicts.
