    Hey, been having this problem for a while now, if i resize a window somtimes the whole system COMPLETLEY freezes up, as in totally gone need to restart. often while playing music, which is most alarming. Or Kazaa...
    I suspect it to be video related
    Okay, some specs:
    Creative 3DBlaster 4 (GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB) with Omega drivers (had same problem with nvida ones too)
    Soundblaster Live! player /w funnydrivers (not the drivers there either)
    128MB ram, PC133 SDRAM
    AMD Athlon XP 2000+
    Pcchips mobo

    Running Windows XP SP1 Home.

    Any ideas as to what might be going ary?

    also is 54 a healthy half idling temperature???? it doesnt sound like it....

    This may be a hardware question, but i dont think it is...thus the software forum

    i have a feeling this is going to take a long time to work out, since this only happens once every day.........

    oh well, now just to sit back and wait... :)

    my card is not overclocked nor is anything in my system, appart from maybe my sound card because of those drivers. anyway.
