Okay, I am VERY pissed now. For the past three months my computer locks up, at random times, during ANY game I have played so far. I can one zillion things in windows, like email, surfing, downlaoding, unraring, encoding, all at the same time and everything is fine, but once I start a game I freeze. I have frozen in the following games:
Counter Strike
DoD 2.0
Star Fighter
Renegade Multiplayer Demo
The same things happens each time. I just freeze and what ever sound affect that was going on at the time just plays over like a broken record. Maybe my sound card has gone bad? I have to press the restart button. I thought maybe my powersupply was to weak (300 watts), so I got a brand new 400 watt. That didnt work either. I tried another video card and got lockups too (although I got less lockups). Here is my system:
Abit kr71-raid
256 megs of pc2100 NEC ram
sb live value
64 meg geforce 2 (tried the 32 meg tnt also, still frooze)
400 watt ps
2 60 gig ibm desksatrs raided
1 45 gig western digital
1 20x burner
1 cdrom
1 lean card
1 wireless internet card
Dragon orb 3 fan
1 amd xp 1800
This is truly frustrating.. I need more suggestiosn on fixes!
