Hi,

Firstly, what OS?.

Secondly, you're multiplying an undefined variable. That means you're performing floating point arithmetic on a number that may not actually be in IEEE754 format, so you're probably getting a floating point exception that you're not handling.

Cheers,

James

In other words: fix your IDT first.
