Repair wont start in XP x64 even in safe mode, i tried 3 times but doesnt work.
Willy2:
- Sound driver problem ?
- I am out of suggestions. Alas.
Samson:
Possibly a shared IRQ problem, check that the soundcard has it's own IRQ. The "click" or "pop" can be a symptom of this.

Lol I can understand u already, but thanks again for doing your best of trying to help me!
The strange thing is that in the past, this driver problem wasn't exist at all! Im talking about XP x64 all was just fine with the sound!
Something happened in the last 1.5 years, I remember that i installed windows 8 in my other hard disk a year ago+- , and there was no any problem at all!
The driver or the sound problem doesn't exist at all in windows 8 or 7 , The sound works perfect there! I just cant work with those operating systems cause of the 3D/2ND low performance compares to XP X64.
So i actually might be wrong that the sound related to the memory's slots problem, cause it was simply perfect with windows 7-8 in the exact same pc setup.
But maybe with xp x64 it relates it to the memory slots problem. I can feel the sound problem mostly when i open CPUZ, the sound stops/pops for 1-2 seconds and returns.

Yes thanks for ur advice! i thought about that either long time ago, i checked the IRQS and saw that there is some conflict with ICH10R which belongs to the chipset. Anyway i didnt have any IRQ BSOD or something like that at the last 2 years since i installed that windows.
I attached a screenshot of my system's IRQS, Do u think that it might be the cause of problem??? If yes, how can i change and sign another IRQ to cancel the conflict? i tried to change slots and switched the sound card between all the other PCI-X slots with or without the video cards, but there are no many options and i cant remove 1 of my video cards cause i play on SLI, And even if i remove 1 of my GTX cards, still it has the same IRQ conflict with ICH10R or with another hardware :sad:
[BTW u see on the list double XFX GTX 285 AND not the 680 because i moved them to another pc i have to test with windows 8]

I'm just going from personal experience. I have Creative Soundblaster card in an XP (32bit) machine that "popped" and "clicked" on occasion.
Drivers updated etc...problem remained, checked and found it was sharing IRQ with another device. swapped the card to another slot, but it was still sharing the same IRQ, tried a third slot, same IRQ sharing. (From memory it was shared with a USB Universal Host controller.)
I then used an option in the BIOS that allowed setting the IRQ from there. Result, my soundcard was given its own IRQ and worked perfectly since.
