My machine hangs when I play games. I get the feeling that it is the sound card. The sound always seems to go into a short loop and then the screen freezes. I'm usually able to recover back to Windows XP afterwards. I'm fairly certain that it isn't my Graphics card, I recently replaced it and I had the same problem with the old one.
Sometimes I can play the game for 15 minutes with no problem and other times only 5. I have the same problem with Jedi Knight II and Medal of Honour.
I have moved the sound card to another PCI slot, I have also re-installed everything on my machine. I now only have minimal software programs running so that I can narrow down the problem.
