My system freezes/EQ freezes

Post by Hadewig » Tue Jul 27, 2004 10:38 am

Hi,

I've been starting to try out Eqplaynice today. But up to now, I've been having nothing but trouble. It works, I can see cpu usage dropping radically. But after a few minutes, my system freezes. At one occasion I could hear strange noises from my speakers. Other occasions no noise, just a complete freeze out of which I could only escape by rebooting.

I have never had trouble running EQ.

I hava a P4 2.4 with 1.2 Gig RAM and a Geforce 4 videocard (128MB).
Win XP home edition

Any clue?

Sounds like driver issues. Make sure your video, sound, motherboard chipset drivers, etc are all up to date. It sounds like it's directly related to the sound chipset.

Updated the Audigy drivers, but no solution. Other drivers are up to date too.

Strange thing is, sometimes I haven't problems for a whole day. The next day, I freeze after a few minutes EQ is running in windowed mode.

Disregard this post. Problem has occurred now without running PlayNice. It's a hardware problem I think. The cooling fin, or what you call it, of my motherboard has come loose, and fell on my graphics card contacts. Can't be favorable for a stable system I gather :/
