Whenever I play videos longer than a music video my computer randomly crashes, either with the blue screen saying DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO or the screen just plain freezes and everything is unresponsive. I've tried going into the msconfig and starting up with less items to try and avoid software conflict, but the problem still arose, no matter what player I use to play the files. I have Win XP Professional. I have a compaq presario 1211CA with the 1 G athlon 4, with 384 MB RAM, and the ATi Mobility M1 8MB chip.
