yeha i have tried installing windows xp (pro) over again and reformatting the hd and still to no avail i still get a freeze wheevr i start any 3d program regardless of api. specs go 1.2 ghz duron 512 megs of ddr ram (not sure on speed) ati radeon 8500 (64 meg and i tried the newest catylst drivers...3.5 i think?) sound blaster auidgy 2 ...and yeah i tried the newest via 4 in ones for my mobo (not sure of the model numbers on it)
 
i threw together a crude little video of whats going on here thanks to my dv cam...as you can see its not an instant lockup as soon as any 3d is done, and it seems to try to stutter slowly forward judging by the sound (if i left it on long enough i could get to a car honking) but it seems like the moniter goes totally out of sync ...the vid is at members.aol.com/tigerwvuz32/crash.wmv
 
What PCI slot is your Audigy 2 in? You might double-check in your motherboard BIOS to make sure the onboard MIDI, onboard gameport and onboard audio are disabled, so they don't arm-wrestle with the Audigy 2.
 
Is your Audigy 2 a platimum? I had that problem until I unpluged the front panel audio control, then I installed audigy drivers, updated audigy drivers, then pluged it back in and it works fine. It wouldn't until I updated the drivers though.
 
no its just the plain vanilla audigy and i dont even have the game port bracket in, i have no need, and i tried swapping it out for a live 5.1 and the same issues still came about
 
Ok, having the gameport bracket removed isn't the same as disabling it in the BIOS. Have you worked with your motherboard BIOS before, can you rummage around in there for the Integrated Peripherals section and switch off MIDI, Gameport and audio?

Alternately, try with the SoundBlaster cards removed and just the onboard audio, and if that works, I'm going to recommend switching to an Asus A7N266-VM/AA board.
 
nothing, same deal. i did notice my tv tuner doesnt work now and is citing an improper directX installation, and i tried reinstaling but it says the same deal.......is 9.0a just fudged?
