Unhappy Audigy 2 + ASUS P4C800 + HT on issue..HELP!!!

I had that problem with SB Live! Value on my system.
The problem is that when I upgraded to HT enabled CPU the system crashes with BSoDs when playing some games, here are some of that games:
GTA III, GTA Vice City, Toca Race Driver, Colyn McRae Rally 3...
game freezez for a second sound loops and than Blue Screen appears. BSoD screen reports error:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Then I contacted Creative Support they told me that Live! is not compatible with HT and that Audigy 2 is. So I bought Audigy 2 OEM
but the problem was the same !!!
Then I decided to reinstall windows XP from scratch.
The problem was gone all was working fine untill tomorrow.
During that time I updated windows through windows update etc.
Tomorrow that error reappeared and the system always hang with that error when I play that games.
The only solution I found is to disable HT through BIOS and change ACPI Multiprocessor PC to ACPI PC (in device manager).
And when I do that problem is gone!!! But the fact is that that is not an answer because HT is disabled I want it back.
Please somebody help me!!
P.S. my full system specs is in my profile.

have you tried another PCI slot. I think mine is in slot 3 or 4 but I never had that issue.

I have this exact same issue, the only thing I could do was turn off hyperthreading and downclock my 3.0ghz p4 to 2.7ghz (i think my p4c800 deluxe has some problems with my ati radeon 9700 pro all-in-wonder as well, and/or possibly bad hardware)

A little update, I think I have pretty much solved my problems. I can now run (stable) at 3.0ghz with hyperthreading enabled by doing the following things:

In the bios:
- turn off spread spectrum
- set the AI overclocker Tuner to manual
- change the AGP/PCI frequency from AUTO to 66:33
- change Performance mode from AUTO to standard

the problems with my audigy2 and AIW 9700pro seem to have ceased by doing this
