Greetings and thanks in advance for any advice,
I have been suffering sporadic lockups recently while playing both online and offline. I'll be flying along ( or at times in the hanger doing nothing ) when I'll get an audio loop followed by a frozen screen that eventually either crashes to the desktop or completely locks the system. By audio loop I mean something to the effect of "check that spit,,,check that spit,,,check that spit" or whatever happens to have been the last thing said on vox.
I been over the forums and have done the obvious turning off of the firewalls and AV programs but I'm a bit confused regarding the video settings I should be using. Based on the below configuration what video settings ( preload options, AA, AF, etc ) should I be using. I should mention that I have comcast cable connection and that all available driver and firmware updates have been attempted, with the exception of using catalyst 4.12 drivers for the vidcard.
Gigabyte K8NS-pro Mboard
Athlon 64 2800+ Newcastle
3 gigs of Crucial 3200 ddr
Sapphire 9600pro 256 mb agp catalyst 4.12 drivers
Audigy 2 sound card – internal
2 Maxtor 80 gig HD – Raid0
Any thoughts would be appreciated,,,,Skuzzy???,,,,,
Thanks and cyaup ( at least until the system crashes again ), cpthowdy
