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 strated freezing occasionally. Then all of my games started freezing. Now all of my games are exiting to windows mid-game. I've tried new drivers, old drivers, defragmenting, scandisk, uninstalling norton systemworks (as it had caused problems in the past)and re-installing directx7 but the problem persists. Up until now my computer has had no problems whatsoever. I'm thinking virus, but none are detected. My system is as follows:
AMD Athlon 700
192MB ram (PC133)
Asus K7M motherboard
Hercules Prophet DDR
Win98+Win2000 (simultaneousely)
20GB HDD (Win98)
4GB HDD (win2K)
Soundblaster Live
10x40 acer DVD (running as primary CD-Rom drive)
2x2x4 HP CD-WR
Directx7
300W Power Supply
Latest (6.35) video drivers
I don't think it's a hardware issue as the problem is only recent, so I think it's probably a software conflict, or a virus. Re-formatting the harddrive would almost surely fix it, and I do have multiple drives to backup necessary files, but it's still a last resort because it's just too much hassle. If anyone has experienced similar issues or has any idea of what the problem could be, any help would be greatly appreciated.
