SB Live! 5.1+Windows XP=constant rashes

Hi,

I have Via KT133 based motherboard (Shuttle AK12)+Duron 800 processor. I just bought SB Live! 5.1 soundcard and I can't get this thing to work. I tried to put the soundcard into different PCI slot (it was using the same IRQ 11 as video card and networ adapter), updated drivers and Via drivers. When I boot up I hear sound from the speakers but when I try to do something i.e. browse the Internet I get a total freeze-up of the system.

Does anybody know what is the problem?

regards Konrad,

system:

Shuttle AK12 mobo (KT133 ATA 100)
Duron 800 MHz
450 MB RAM
SB Live! 5.1
Hollywood Plus DVD decoder
Creative Riva TNT2 32 MB
Creative DVD-ROM
Teac CD-RW
Realtec Network card (8139C)
canon u650n scaner

Here's my system stats:

Intel 650 MHz / Intel Motherboard
SB Live 5.1
Voodoo5 5500
256 MB RAM
Teac CD-RW
3com 905tx-c
RCA SanDisk FlashCard Drive

I just installed XP yesterday, and was suprised to find that I didn't require a single manufacturer driver. No problems with sound (expect I want to install the creative software for EAX).
