Default Re: Questions? Need help? Look here

FYI: I have the following system..

ECS Elitegroupe K7S5A motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.46ghz)
nVidia GForce2 MX/400 64mb
SoundBLaster Live! Value
256 Meg RAM
30gig HD, 52x CD-ROM,

The game runs fine for me, but early on the game was crashing to desktop without warning. With Aaron's help the problem was tracked down to the sound card.

I found updated drivers at www.soundbLaster.com and it has never crashed since.

The nVidia drivers I'm running are v45.23.
The SBLive drivers are v 5.12.2.252 (7/24/2002)
I have the original v1.0 of my motherboard BIOS.

None of my devices are sharing IRQ's except for my USB controllers and my sound card. (but I have no USB devices plugged in to my computer)

I've heard that many motherBoards have problems with AMD, but most if not all of these have BIOS patches that fix the problem.

One other note,.. the only 'active' program on my taskbar (icons on the bottom right!) is the volume control. (I'm a firm believer in running programs WHEN I need them, and not having stuff running IN CASE I will need them.)

I hope some of this info helps, have a great day.

Cheers!
