Ok here is my problem.....all 3d games (unreal etc.) crash at some point...some times its better than others...I am rock solid when not playing games...can run prime95 for days....but I have tried multiple games and after a few minutes ...CRASH,,.,,,..the screen sometimes completly goes out and the sound will repeat a few seconds over and over.

I first installed everything with acpi and of course everything was on IRQ 11 for me (not like 9 that I hear from others)
Ok so I thought this might be the problem so I did a fresh install with "standard PC" ok and everything got it's own IRQ and I thought ok great now everyone will be happy and play nice.....

no luck the issue is still there....I am at my wits end.....updated all drivers and everything I could find short of firmware (as I couldnt find any updates)./....

Please help .....anything would be good at this point....

thanks
coral

The 32xx series drivers are beta and have been unreliable for me. I've stuck with the 3132s which have are beta but have proven to be rocksolid for me. Have you tried any other driver versions?

I had the 3132s to start with and moved up to see if maybe they might fix the problem....I may move back down as that hasnt fixed it as of yet.
