When playing Neocron my computer seems to go bluescreen and crash now & Then, just this minute it has crashed.. i was at MB killing Launchers with my 5 slotted APU Spell which fires pretty much constantly.. so here i am clicking away shooting constantly.. then my sound seems to become distortioned and the sounds change .. and then around 20 seconds later my computer crashes and the screen goes blue. It used to do this in Star Wars Galaxies .. not with the sound though, now my sound is distortioned then it goes Blue screened.

I'm running a AMD Athlon XP 2600 with a ASRock Motherboard K78SX/K7S8XE, it's budget i think with onboard sound, 512MB DDR Ram & a Radeon 9600 Pro .. these problems seemed to arise when i switched from a Geforce 4 Ti 4400 (A Truely godly card)

If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Check all fans in the tower, make sure the processor fan is spinning,
if theres a fan on the graphics card make sure its spinning , if there
isnt, get one with proper coolant.

Check memory connections, one might be half way out..happens
all the time. make sure all wires are plugged in firmly.

IF none of this works, take the sound card out or disable it in
bios.. if the problem stops the sound card might be defective or
may not be all the way into the pci slot...unless its integrated into
the motherboard that is. if the problem persists, unplug all usb
devices and reboot.

We are several people here with the same problem.

It arises from the onboard soundchips we have.
