Hey guys, hopefully I can go through this without getting everyone confused. I have a home built PC, and its been built since 2008. I have never had any problems out of AH till about 3 days ago. Now I cant go a mission (flying) without the game locking up hard and me having to reset the computer. It did it 6 times today. I would be flying along, then the game would start to studder and then lock up. Some times it would be a black screen with the sound going as if its on a loop. Then I would get a olive drab screen with the sound constant. I would have to restart the computer to get it to work again, only for the game to lock up. I am suspect that the sound card might be causing the trouble, but Im not quite sure. Hopefully someone on here can help me out. Here is my DXDIAG report.
