So I pulled one of the RAM sticks and it looks like it's okay. I can never tell since it seems to just happen randomly but I played longer than I have in like 2 weeks.
It's choppy since I only have 512k of RAM in it now, but I guess I'll have to invest in a new stick.
Man this board is...
Haven't disabled sound or swapped memory yet but downgrading clock speeds didn't seem to help.
Here's my core v's as shown by BIOS (and all my fans are running just fine):
HTV: 1.20
CPUV: Auto
VCore: 1.39
Chipset V: 1.5
3.3v: 3.29
5v: 4.99
12v: 11.90
All settings are stock on the bios right now. Should probably note that.
I'll try the memory thing and post the v's from the bios when I get home tonight. Thanks guys.
Okay.. last night I pulled the soundcard and ran off of onboard sound. I even did a complete clean install of XP without the soundcard. Froze up again so apparently that wasn't the issue.
Anyone?
I will do. The sound on this card is actually quite a bit better and I get the usage of the front panel which is why I was avoiding messing with it (plus why spend money on a soundcard you can't configure for use)
Results will be posted later tonight or tomorrow.
Okay, here's the basic problem. Just built this rig recently (I'm of moderate skill, not noob and not advanced by any means):
A8N SLI-Premium
AMD64 3200+ CPU
Enermax 550W PSU
Sapphire Radeon X800
Creatvie Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
2 Sticks of Approved Corsair RAM (each 512k)
No RAID drives...
