my comp keeps locking up when running 3dmark 2003 during the sound test portion. my friend's 3dmark doesnt even run the sound test but i cant seem to disable mine from running. im using the onboard sound, and my comp IS overclocked. running an xp 1700+ at 2 ghz - 200fsb and 10x multiplier. the graphics and cpu tests run fine... anyone else having similar problems or know any solutions?
 
yes, drivers are updated, and at most recent version. also tried 2nd oldest drivers.
 
I dont know if it's JUST the sound that's killing the test. Are you using onboard, or a card?

If it's onboard, the sound stressing the CPU might be just enough to push it over the edge and lock it up. Try backing your FSB down like 5-10 and try again.
