hi all i just wonder about something, everytime i play any game (no mattter what game) the sound hangs up for like 1 second and them my comp simply just STOPS responding to all, im running ASUS A8N-E with 8600GTS winXP SP2 DX9c...this problem came after i inserted the 8600GTS

this looks like a driver problem or a memory one...
so if it is software u need to update drivers...
if hardware ur memory could be affected or overheated...
