My system periodically locks up when playing D3D games or running D3D benchmarks. Generally, sound keeps playing (at least the sound effect keeps looping), but it's otherwise a total lockup (the hit-the-reset-button kind). There isn't an obvious pattern to it. In other words, it doesn't happen in the same spot in the game or benchmark. It might as well be random.
Potentially relevant hardware:
Antec PP303X 300W Power Supply
Abit KT7 (non-raid)
AMD Tbird 1GHz
128 MB PC133 RAM (Mushkin)
ELSA Gladiac 32 (GeForce2 GTS)
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
3Com 10/100 Ethernet (905?)
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller
Running WinME
The GeForce has it's own IRQ. The LAN card and the USB controller share another, and the sound card and the SCSI card share yet another.
All of the drivers are up-to-date, including the VIA chipset drivers. The BIOS in the vid card and motherboard look to be up the latest available on the manufacturer's websites, but I haven't tried reflashing.
I noticed an earlier posting with a GeForce2MX board on a KT7 with what sounded like very similar behavior. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a general problem with KT7's and GeForce boards. Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have any other ideas how to solve this, maybe some of the BIOS settings?
Thanks in advance.
