My computer crashes all the time in games. It locks up and the screen gets slightly distorted and a high pitched screaming noise comes through the speakers. This also happens in complicated screensavers with sound.
I have already done the following:
Removed soundcard
Formatted and reinstalled everything
Updated all drivers
Took it to computer store(they said it was fixed, but they never tested it in a game... and it still does the exact same thing.)
I was wondering if anyone has any insight into my problem. I'm not sure what it could be but I've eliminated the soundcard and the software as being the problem.
Specs:
ECS K7S5A Motherboard
256MB PC133 SDRAM

GeForce4 MX440 64MB
