platon 0 Posted June 8, 2002 Hi,i am having seroius problems with my system and i am wondering if it is the motherboard or Win XP that is causing the problem. Let’s say i’m playing mp3:s (the only application running is musicmatch jukebox, winamp etc.) and after 5-10 minutes, the cpu starts working, from 3-5% to 80-100% causing system slowdown and sound errors. I’ve disabled the built-in soundcard on the motherboard. I’ve tried different soundcards, changed pci-buses for these, re-installed xp, updated the bios, scanned for viruses but nothing seems to help. This problem is a real pain. Please help, because i am about to go crazy!!! Thanx!!! My System: Amd 1500 Epox 8k7a+ motherboard 512 DDR 2*40GB IBM HDD (Raid) Soundblaster Live (I’ve also tried with Hercules Fortissimo II and SB Audigy) Geforce 3 64mb Asus 8200 Win Xp Share this post Link to post
dizarludba 0 Posted June 9, 2002 i am not sure about this , but first of all its better for u to check the task manager , then go to "Processes"'s section , then find program that use that much cpu ( look at the CPU section under processes ) , then try to close that program that use lots of cpu .... try this .... good luck to u Share this post Link to post
Kysio 0 Posted June 10, 2002 VIA chipsets work wrong with SBLive software. Try use VIA latest driver pack and original-from win xp driver for your sound card. Don't install any Creative addons. You can clean all Creative's driver files from your system and registry. Share this post Link to post
Kysio 0 Posted June 10, 2002 Once more - I had similar situation in win 98. Next is very sad but I had to re-install system. But then it worked. Share this post Link to post
