I spent the last 2 weeks dealing with constant crashes and very similar hardware (x2 3800+, NForce4, SBLive!, Geforce 7950 GT). I tried every version of released and beta nforce4 drivers I could find. Same with video. I removed all my PCI cards, including the Soundblaster. No dice. I uninstalled my soundblaster drivers and all software. No dice. I disabled hardware acceleration in the Sound options in-game. No dice. Funny thing though, even after removing the hardware and uninstalling the software Creative left all kinds of crap in my various system folders and throughout my registry. It's been 3 days since I ninja-deleted all that stuff and I haven't had a crash yet.

The onboard AC97 is a piece of crap, and I'm bitter about having to use it. But it's better than crashing every 5 minutes.
