I brought Windows Vista 32bit OEM last week got round to installing it thursday night. I done everything you should, installed all the latest updates, drivers etc...Then i installed the latest catalyst driver for my 1900xtx board. This is when i got the infamous crashing problems. It was crashing just after windows loaded up. so i un-installed the catalyst driver. What happens? it continues to crash so i looked at the event viewier and it looked as if the there was a problems with my creative Audigy 2 zx, the driver was causing a confilct or something, problem:
"IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 2, function 0" <<< So i tried the sound card in every PCI slot, still got same errors/crashes.
So i have took my card out just to see if windows would stop crashing. But its still happening, obviously with no ACPI errors as i have no cards installed in any pci slots. Apart from my 1900xtx card in pcie slot. Anyways below i will list the errors messages from event viewer below, i don't understand half of these codes maybe on you peeps can help, please:
last event msg when my computer crashes:
The previous system shutdown at 11:11:06 on 02/06/2007 was unexpected.
