O/Ced Duron, some sound/video problems

[shin]

I stopped my search for the culprit of this dilemna of mine, but I decided it would be better if I were to fix it instead. My problem is a crackling of the speakers and some glitches of the videocard, very subtle, but I'd rather do without them. I'm running my Duron 800@1000mhz at 1.75V I believe on an Asus A7V with a silver orb and an open case. My video card is a Geforce DDR 32 meg and the soundcard a Soundblaster Live! X-Gamer. My system is idling right now and is at 47.5c CPU and 37.0c System.

Now I'm not 100% sure on this one, but it seems that the more stress I put on my system, the sound seems to do better. When I'm playing music by itself, it crackles and I get annoyed, but when I boot up a game to play and the music still going, the crackling magically disappears. This is about as odd as it gets for me, so if you know the problem please help out.

#1 your temps are too high.
#2 if you lower the fsb the probs go away right?
#3 the SB live cards have compat issues with some chipsets, you might be able to resolve this with drivers or BIOS revisions

let me clarify...
temps will/are exceeding 50* under load... this isn't good.
it probably has nothing to do with the problem, rather... is a problem in and of itself.

KT133 chipset right? yep.
thats your problem. revisions are in order.
hopefully someone who has that chipset can advise to what drivers/bios works.

also, this post is titled "sound & video probs" and we have a
"sound & video cards" forum where that "title" belongs,
however, that is not your problem, and this thread Does belong under "AMD motherboards"
and if you run some searches over there, you'll find the answers you seek.
please use the appropriate forums in the future.

I believe ur cpu is too hot. i had the same problem on my duron 750. at 980mhz i got sound/video problems but everything was fine at 950.

Try running prime95 to check if it fails. If it does its 100% sure its ur cpu who have reached its limits or is to hot
