Could be......... I was having similar problems with GTA: San Andreas. It has many problems with audigy cards.

hmm.... i dont think its cpu or ram related cuz i have primed and memtested it, and its still freezing. so im down to mobo or sound card

Interesting. So how'd you figure out it was your ram if it passed memtest?

The problem, my friend is the Creative Audigy. Welcome to the Squeel of Death club. Google it.
