A question for the gurus out there. I have a new system with the P5B-E mobo, E6600 Core 2 Duo, 2 Gb of Corsair PC6400 RAM, and a 7900 GS Vid card. I'm getting a weird lock up on occasion (it's happened 5 or 6 times in the last 2 weeks). I'll be playing a game (it's happened on CoD2 and NWN2) and the comp just freezes and I get an awful screeching sound in my headphones. No keys work and task manager won't open up.
Restarting the comp is the only thing that works. I was using the onboard sound when it did it the first time and I thought that may be it, so I got a soundcard (I was going to anyway, since the onboard sound sucks). It happened again after that, got a driver error the next time it happened, so I rolled back my video drivers to 91.47. Still does it. Is my mobo just screwed up?
Thanks for ANY help with this!
