sound card couses freezing by NiteMare on 04-01-2006 at 09:33 PM

ok, my computer keeps freezing up when ever i play "rage againest myself - offspring"

i do have hte latest drivers and updates

so how can i stop this from happening?

How are you so sure that its the soundcard that's causing the problems?

It sounds more like its the song that's corrupted and causes your computer to lock up.

because i've never had a problem with it untill yesterday, when i installed my soundcard


RE: sound card couses freezing by Reaper on 04-01-2006 at 10:46 PM
