Ok this started last night, when I was adding a NIC to this system.I have changed HDD 4 days ago, things were good.
I put the nic in and got on the maerrygoround.
BSODs,fatal errors,NIC wouldn't intall as it had IRQ Conflict ECT. so I took it out,forgotten

I tried to reecord some music with N-Tracks, freeze,tried a different program freeze,sound recorder, freeze.WTF!
Wen t back to the old HDD which was working fine, same thing, freezing all the time.

So being fed up with it all, I upgraded to ME which I wanted to try anyway (yes I know it's a bad move) Still it will not play music. freezes everytime, have to reset it to get back.I have tried 3 other sound card as well.Took the HSF off, cleaned it all up, didn't reseat the CPU though.
Seems to work fine as long as I don't try to do music????

How do I fix this POS?

For got to add, I have installed the latest driver since the problem began,and have Direct X 8 as well.

Amptron 8400c
400 AMD K6/2
modem
USB card
Ensoniq PCI Audio
2 mb video
128 mb PC100
2 maxtor HDDs 1 gig and 3 gig
CD-ROM CD-RW

I have ran this combo for a long time without problems, why now?

Thanx
BC
