I've had a similar problem. I think this error generally occurs when 2 or more hardware devices (sound card, graphics card etc) try to use the same IRQ channel (something you can check by going to the Device Manager and viewing items by connection) I solved this in my machine by physically moving my soundcard to a new slot...apparently it isn't a good idea to have your sound and graphics cards next to each other. Other possible causes are out of date drivers for your cards - make sure these are up to date too. Hope that helps.

replace it with an other graphics card should be a way.
