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

Sound keeps looping? Do you have the latest drivers for your SBLive?

Also the SBLive tends to exhibit problems unless you set the following:

Enable LPT Interrupt Sharing in the Creative SB16 Emulation Device in the device manager

Set IRQ 5 Reserved to Yes in PCI/PNP Resource Exclusion list in the BIOS.

Did you install the AMD AGP patch to your registry?

EDIT: Whoops, it's only for Win2000. Sorry :(

<< changed agp apeture size to 32 >>


usually 64 is m/board default but suggest you try increasing it to 128!
I'm no AMD expert but your cpu temp seems a little high for idle! have you got adequate case cooling/ventilation?

One thing I noticed you kinda left out. What power supply are you using?Athlon 1.2 and Geforce 2s really use the juice.

I had the same symptom with a Creative GForce 256 and ended up replacing it with an Asus. Do you have sidebanding enabled? If so, try disabled. Good luck.

thats what happens to my system when it gets to warm, and 50c sounds kinda high for your cpu
