The Paging file may be too small. Ram may be overclocked. Those screen messages refer to memory problems, not to EAX for SBLive.
Install Direct X 8.1 latest release (Build 682). Update Motherboard Bios and change graphics driver.

Soldier of Fortune and so on this list can be long
they run perfectly in Win2000Pro SP2 and also runs perfekt in Win98se
 
take a look at my system
AMD TB 1,2GHz | 384Mb Pc133 | Asus A7V KT133 rev 1.02 BIOS ver 1008| Asus V7700 Geforce GTS2 | SB, Live 5.1 | Sony 12x/8x/32x | Pioneer 16x/40x | 2xFujitsu 20,4Gb ATA100 & 17,3Gb ATA 66 | Netgear Fa310TX | Aopen HX08 & 3x80mm AVC | OS: Win98se & Win2000Pro

Maybe both AMD and Via (4in1) drivers could be updated since this problem with MW4 first does not seem to be hardware related and second graphic and sound drivers are OK.
 
Those AMD AGP patches and the Via drivers directly impact the correct functioning of processor registers.
 
Get the recent Beta patch that updates the game to Version 2.0:

Use the Via 4-in-1 patch, version 4.29a The 4.3x series is very buggy, and causes system crashes.

nope didnt work those VIAs 4in1 idea got the same error
 
my drivers are VIA 4in1 432 "i tried the 429" didnt work
graphics driver are nVidias 1241 "had before 1290" the same errors
upgraded my sound card but no isnt that either
running DirectX8 havent upgraded it yet to 8,1
i tried also with or witout the patch but no
i cant apply the patch 2,0 since i get error 036
that cause i have the nordic version of MW4

the two kind of errors i get see above
STOP : this is isnt a database
