hey guys I need help getting this problem fixed. I have tried everything but cant figure out problem. First of all heres the components to my pc

AMD 1.2
Asus A7V133
Asus Geforce GTS2 deluxe
256mb crucial ram
Quantum 40gb ata100
SB x-gamer

Ok the problem starts when im playing a game, about 10 minutes into counterstrike all of a sudden the game freezes and the sound keeps looping. So far I have updated bios to 1004, installed latest promise drivers, installed via 4in1 4.29v driver, installed detenator 3 drivers. But I still keep freezing for some reason. I tried formatting and doing a clean install but im still getting same thing. I have tried uninstalling via and promise drivers thinking maybe that was the problem but still nothing. I even tried uninstalling detenator3 and using asus7700 graphics driver. I dont think its a heat problem, im using FOP32-1 with arctic silver compound and temp is idle at 50c. Any help is greatly appreciated

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

update

so far I have tried everything I have think of and still getting same thing.

tried sound card in every pci slot
changed agp to 2x and 1x
changed agp apeture size to 32 (i think i spelled that wrong)
reinstalled via drivers, tried 4.28 and 4.29
reinstalled promise driver
formated again
updated sound card drivers
changed primary vga to AGP instead of PCI


I dont think its a heat problem since smart doctor is telling me the card is fine. This problem is really starting to piss me off. Sometimes it takes longer to freeze then before 10-20 min. Im thinking of only one thing i could do and thats to flash the bios to a older version, Im currently on 1004. Anybody think that would help????
btw the system isnt overclocked and is running under WIN98SE

Go to ASUS's forums there is the best resources for your board. Apparently ASUS's v7700 and the A7V's have an incompatability issue. Search for it on this board and thiers. You'll find out how to fix it.

Power supply?

Try running with the side of teh case off (Heat)?

lower memory settings in bios?
actually start in default.

I'm a reseller, and I've had the same problem with 3 Asus V7100 cards in a row. I'm just starting to dig a bit, but it looks as if all Asus cards might be defective.
If you like, send me your info and I'll forward it to asus along with all the other reports I can get.

try lowering your core voltage. if it is the 1.8 or 1.75, try 1.7. 50c seems kind of high for idle.

I have a 1.2 Ghz athlon on an ABIT motherboard and I get the exact same problem (actually I GOT the exact same problem, lately things have gotten worse). I haven't found a solution, just informing that it's not just asus.
