hears my lis o' problems:
1) when playing music/movies, anything that has audio it will skip with a loud electronic noise
2)when playing music, it will sometimes after a long time just die. only dies when playing music not anything else. but it completely dies, forcing me to restart.
3) starting sound diagnostic utility or creative playcenter causes immediate system freeze, and then i have to restart.
4)reinstalling, it freezes so i never have been able to

i have win2k now, all this happend back when i had xp installed so i dont think its the os. none of this happend when i had my live
system specs:
256mb micron pc2100 ram
abit kg7 raid
asusv7700

i doubt the brands/speeds has anything to do with the prob, but ill post if asked. i really dont want to lose that firewire port(i dont have any devices for it yet, but ...), i do notice a diff in sound quality between it and the live. so if anyone could help?

Hmm......was that a sales pitch or a good post that got lost? Hehe...just kidding. Can you please tell us what you are trying to do, sell or get help?
 
If you are tring to get help, you might want to try checking to see if your sound card is confilcting with anything and you m,ay have to change IRQ for your card or try installing it into a different slot. A friend of mine had a problem similar to that, but it cleared up once we moved the card to a different slot.
 
Ooh Ooh I can help... I'll send ya $20 and you send me the sound card ;) J/K

Ummmm... I think I'll just pm a mod and see about movin this for ya bro :D
