NEED HELP PLEASE ANYBODY !!!

[lillazy23]

hey guys I need help getting this problem fixed. I have tried everything but cant figure out problem. First of all heres the components to my pc

AMD 1.2
Asus A7V133
Asus Geforce GTS2 deluxe
256mb crucial ram
Quantum 40gb ata100
SB x-gamer

Ok the problem starts when im playing a game, about 10 minutes into counterstrike all of a sudden the game freezes and the sound keeps looping. So far I have updated bios to 1004, installed latest promise drivers, installed via 4in1 4.29v driver, installed detenator 3 drivers. But I still keep freezing for some reason. I tried formatting and doing a clean install but im still getting same thing. I have tried uninstalling via and promise drivers thinking maybe that was the problem but still nothing. I even tried uninstalling detenator3 and using asus7700 graphics driver. I dont think its a heat problem, im using FOP32-1 with arctic silver compound and temp is idle at 50c. Any help is greatly appreciated

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

update

so far I have tried everything I have think of and still getting same thing.

tried sound card in every pci slot
changed agp to 2x and 1x
changed agp apeture size to 32 (i think i spelled that wrong)
reinstalled via drivers, tried 4.28 and 4.29
reinstalled promise driver
formated again
updated sound card drivers
changed primary vga to AGP instead of PCI


I dont think its a heat problem since smart doctor is telling me the card is fine. This problem is really starting to piss me off. Sometimes it takes longer to freeze then before 10-20 min. Im thinking of only one thing i could do and thats to flash the bios to a older version, Im currently on 1004. Anybody think that would help????
btw the system isnt overclocked and is running under WIN98SE

Just for the heck of it, try a different mouse and/or keyboard. You might right-click on My Computer>Properties>Device Manager and make sure there are no ! marks and everything is identified correctly including the mouse and keyboard.

i used to have that problem, i had IRQ conflicts with sound and video card...

update your video drivers

I had a similar problem. Turns out that the game (Reach for the Stars) was incompatible with the Detonator drivers I had (forgot which version). After upgrading the drivers, it worked fine. Hope this helps.

If everything is right and updated to the latest drivers etc
Try contact the manuf. of the game. Maybe DirectX could be the problem.
Some VGA-card drivers are made for 7A DirectX and now new drivers are coming out for 8.X
Try another VGA-card, many game-problems can be brought back to bad chipset support.

Make sure your system tempeture does not raise above 50 deg.celcius. I have witnessed many
Geforce problems when tempeture goes above 50. (many Gforce cards have bad cooling !)
Use a fan blowing on the card.
