ok, first off i'll say what i have...
t-bird 900
ep-8kta+ mobo
wd 4 gig hd
quantum 30 gig hd
plextor 12/10/32
pioneer 16x dvd
3x128meg micron
sb live mp3+
leadtek gf2 gts
cheap lan card
cool temperatures
ok, when i first installed win2k i was having consistent, random freezed. i read the irq9 thread and did what it said about changing acpi to normal pc (or something like that). that did help but it didn't solve the problem completely. i have service pack 1 installed, the agp registry patches (i think i found 3 different ones), proper win2k drivers for the sb live card (from creative) and for the video card (version 6.27 from leadtek). the only shared irq is 11 (usb controller and lan card). i can't think of any driver problems or major irq problems. are there any other patches that i need? i haven't been playing many games lately due to work but they don't seem to cause problems (only q3 and unreal tournament for maybe an hour at most with no problems so far). basically, it could freeze 3 times in an hour then run 24 hours a day for 2-3 days without a freeze. they are totally random and don't seem to be linked to any particular program. please help because i don't want to go back to win9x. do you think a fresh install as a normal pc (no acpi) would help? thanks for reading and a greater thanks for any advise.....
