Synz Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 okay i need some sort of help.. i'm not the only one that experienced this with a soundblaster audigy card.. out of nowhere the pc would freeze and beep a long beep then work fine? then it would completely freeze and not unfreeze? any of you ever experience this before? and if so, have you ever found a resolution?

freeza Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 moving slots did absolutely nothing for me taking out all the cards cept the audigy did absolutely nothing i have therefor concluded that it is a problem with the crappy dell systems and the wack pheonix bios and their crap motherboards :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synz Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 it occurs at random, but its not like it happens alot, its happened twice today, and it was mostly because i had been accessing my harddrives while playing music, thats only when it happens... somebody else had said that it might be because its on the second pci slot, and the first 3 are 133mhz and its sharing it with my double harddrives or something so the audigy is only gettin about 33mhz of power? i have no clue lol but shizit, the sound is superb since i had upgraded from a SB 128D card, that came with my gateway 2 years ago, and it's unfortunate to get the screetching sound at random times : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
