    Videos of system hanging.. help me troubleshoot..

    Ok, found my CD. I tried the ORIGINAL driver from the CD. Same exact problem. I updated to the may 05 ones on the site. Same problem I just called creative and i'm RMA'ing the card.

    Which ones? I cannot even install anything except the beta, they say they need previous versions to be able to install.

    Yes I read that. i didn't install the audio console. Their older drivers are worse than this beta driver, trust me, i've tried them before. It causes most of my games to crash. On my nforce3 they worked fine, the beta ones. Not on my nforce4

    No, there is only one driver version. Those are old updates superseeded by (and included with) the beta driver. I'm not going to revert my drivers by 2 years, and cause more problems than i'm already having. No offense to you of course, I really appreciate all the help I am getting here...

    Windows doesn't. This cannot be the problem, hundreds of thousands of people have this sound card.

    Creative only has ONE driver for the ZS Gamer. And it's a BETA driver at that. How sorry is that on their part.. they can't even produce an official driver for their card.

    I ran a test speaker settings.. every speaker but the right rear has a big red ERROR on it..on LOW settings in the game. There are not really any audio options in source games..just high/med/low, that's it.

    That's the thing. Windows doesn't choke. Most other games don't choke (source based only, and Sudeki). I validated my gcf files already through steam.

    Speakers, yes. It doesn't COMPELTELY hang though, I can ctrl alt del (takes a minute) and kill the app. I never modified MBM5 from default, I used a version on the DFI support board.

    Shoul I buy new or used operton

    The problem is, someone might be able to make a processor hit 2.7 in their system, but take that same processor and slap it into someone else's, and it might not.

    Made it to 2.7GHz stable on my Opteron 170

    I'm not a 3GHz type of individual :) CCBWE 0543TMPW, bought it from TigerDirect of all places (as much as I loathe them lol) It'll run all my games perfectly for hours, but for some reason javascript will cause my system to lockup, oh and my sig is updated now.

    http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=56084 I could probably go a little higher, but this feels comfortable when playing all my games, so i'm not gonna push it too much further ;)

    PLEASE convince me....

    If you really don't need to be spending the money, I don't really suggest it. The opty's are nice, but really since you already have what you do, it's not worth it performance-wise. Fun-wise, sure.

    NewEgg just keeps getting worse...

    UPS sucks. The last 3 things i've had delivered, the guy left them at the door, rang the doorbell, and RAN AS FAST AS HE COULD back to his truck. I swear to god it didn't take me 3 seconds to get to my front door after I heard the doorbell, and HE WAS ALREADY GONE, lol. Oh and on Monday...

    Arctic Silver Installation Mistake

    I use a sandwich bag to spread it initially, then I take a credit card, smooth it out, apply a tiny bit more in the center and then smooth that to each edge. For cleaning, I keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some coffee filters nearby.

    Yeah. I'm probably going to tinker with mine, then sell it and try something else. I won't sell it if it's a total OCing dud though.
