I think so. I've heard that some systems do and some don't. Asus boards (such as mine) are supposedly the worst.

Sorry, I meant IRQ#9 for the sound card in win98

He installed all of my drivers, I supplied them. In windows 98 no hardware is sharing IRQs, however, in win2k my SB Live card, geforce and USB host controller are all using IRQ#9. I just noticed this. Although this would explain it (and SB Live cards and geforces have problems with AMD...

I'm not sure about my CPU temperature at the time of crashing, but at startup its 0 degrees C (32 degrees F). Now that I think about it, I just took out my old CD-rom to install my DvD and CD-RW about a month ago (when the problem started to get bad). This would also suck more from my power...

Oh, yeah. I'll check my CPU's operating tempurature in bios and get back to you. Also, It sometimes crashes in non-gaming applications. It pauses sometimes while burning CD's (but only temporarily), but if I try to scan for viruses or defragment using Norton Systemworks it will often...

I'm not sure exactly what tempurature it's running at actually. I don't know if the power supply is AMD certified, I just know that it's 300w. The problem has gotten worse in Win2k, in win98 it's the same as before. Now there are now three effects. Sometimes it exits to windows like...

I'm not on any type of network (besides internet). Also, the problem persists with older drivers as well as in Win98. I'm running Win98 and Win2k, the problem occurs in both operating systems.

:| I've been Having problems with windows for a while now (so what else is new). When I try to play games, I'll get somewhere around 3-4 minutes play before it crashes and exits back to windows. Some games (including Diablo2) won't even run, but exits to windows after the introduction. In...

P.S. This is not a very important issue, but I'm also having modem problems. I have a Banksia WaveSP 56k modem, and every someone calls while it's turned on, the computer temporarily freezes. Not a major issue, but can be very annoying when it permanantly locks the computer up while say...

I posted a message about this in the games forum yesterday but the problems I'm having now seem to fit this one better. The last month I have been having problems with NBA LIVE 2000 exiting to windows mid-game for no apparent reason. Before everything else was fine. Then NBA Live also...

:Q I've had NBA Live 2K for a while now (since it came out), and the last few months I've been experiencing constant crashes. During the game (especially in practice) it will just exit into windows. Occasionally it will freeze. My system is as follows: AMD Athlon 700 192MB RAM (PC133)...

:Q

After new (or at least newer) sound drivers and the latest Diablo II patch and after checking tech support (which I had already done) the problem was still not solved. However, I uninstalled the game from Win98 and re-installed it in Win2000 and I have had no problems whatsoever now.

I have recently bought Diablo II. When I try to run it the intro movie runs perfectly, but after that the game just exits to windows. I have the following system:- *AMD Athlon 700 *Hercules 3D Prophet DDR with latest drivers (version 5.x) *192MB SD-RAM(PC133) *Sounbblaster AWE64 *50x IDE...
