Won't get new card for about 2-3 weeks.... The video card shouldn't be the problem but it is worth a try and I shouldn't neglect that.... I'll try changing the drivers... currently using omega 6.1's ------------------------- Opty 170 @ 2.5ghz Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe 2gig gskill @ DDR456 - 2.5-3-3-6 Saphire ATI Radeon x850xt @ 560/580 -SOLD-...

If it does remove that Lan card it could be having conflicts. ------------------------- Phenom 9600 BE @ 2.5 ghz \| Ati HD2900XT \| OCZ Titanium XTC DDR800 4Gigs \| MSI K9A2 Platinum \| XFi Xtreme \| Zalman 9700 \| Enermax 620W \| Dell 2405 \| G7 \| G15

If it does remove that Lan card it could be having conflicts. Onboard lan is disabled in bios. my dlink card is a managed network card, far far better than any onboard But i think video is the problem, went to a 5.11 omega driver and now I crash whenever I open video propterties, never did that before.... going to download stock video drivers... Currently running in safe mode with networking.. hehe... --edit-- driver cleaned all old drivers, installed windows update version of 8500 drivers.. dated feb 2005. Will update later if system dies a horrible crashing death as it has been doing... Everything seems a tad bit better for now.... --second edit-- System crashed again... don't think it's drivers. How do I get bsod's to show up? system likes to crash while loading speedfan... latest version.... --third edit-- Not video card, wife let me abuse hers. Not ram, used her ram too. maybe sound card.. maybe network card.. maybe processor... maybe motherboard.. that's all that's left... :/ ------------------------- Opty 170 @ 2.5ghz Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe 2gig gskill @ DDR456 - 2.5-3-3-6 Saphire ATI Radeon x850xt @ 560/580 -SOLD-...

Alright.. cleaned all drivers out of my system... through a ton of testing ended up with sound and network not being the issue... I ended up switching their PCI slots though. Reinstalled both their drivers.. without any of the extra crap... just drivers and that's it just in case that was the problem. No crash yet... might have been drivers I guess.... ------------------------- Opty 170 @ 2.5ghz Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe 2gig gskill @ DDR456 - 2.5-3-3-6 Saphire ATI Radeon x850xt @ 560/580 -SOLD-...

(I had a problem with my new ram, I have to take it back some time) What was happening with me was random restarts, come to find out, one module was BAD ------------------------- "In a world without fences, who needs gates?"

Seems it wasn't the ram... restarts have stoped after uninstalling every driver in my system and reinstalling them from scratch. wheeee.... no restarts still, guess it was a driver conflict somewhere ------------------------- Opty 170 @ 2.5ghz Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe 2gig gskill @ DDR456 - 2.5-3-3-6 Saphire ATI Radeon x850xt @ 560/580 -SOLD-...
