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.

If your running Vista kill the TrustedInstaller service, you need to check the show processes from all users and then kill this process, it's annoying and will randomly start running and taking up a very large % of the CPU.
