I would say mayb your cpu temps are too high. I'm also looking suspiciously at your SBLive. Well more at the LiveWare than the card itself.

which os are you running cause i know 98 se had a habit of freezing on me whenever i was on the internet

Sounds like a power supply problem. Try putting another one in it and see if that solves the problem. I'll bet it does. Good Luck.

Already switched psu..no good.

Running win98 se started having probs when upgrading from p2-350 @ 466. If i go back it runs fine.

Soundblaster live shares no irqs Even when running with only hard drive, video, memory, cpu , modem, motherboard, psu, keyboard and mouse.

CPU temps never above 40 c and is low as 21 c.

Cpu is overclocked to 1200 mhz @ 1.8v

Please offer me some more help! Thanks for everything

i had a freezing problem with an asus board. Turned out to be the bios. Updated it to a new version and the board is solid as a rock
