Every so often, my games (MOHAA, Mafia, GTA3, etc) lock up, freezing the machine up to where I have to reset. It only happens during games. The rest of the time, it is super stable.

Here is a link to download the video I took of the error: http://members.cox.net/eagletalonawd/game_error.avi

My system is homebuilt by me:

ECS socket A K7S5A mainboard
Athlon XP 2100 processor (1800mhz)
256mb PC-133
Gainward GeForce3 Ti-200
Soundblaster 16
2 case fans
400 watt PS

I have a sneaking hunch that it is the POS soundblaster 16 Soundcard that is causing the problem.. ? It does it with the case on or off. I don't have the video card overclocked THAT much. I have it set to 215 Core clock/472 Memory Clock using the overclocker that came with it.

(BTW.. please don't make fun of me if I sound like a dummy.. oOo: )
