i've tried 78.01 and 78.03 u think i should go back to 77.77 o ranother one???

nope, i went to the 77.77 drivers and still the same problem, i don't understand, i never had these problems with my duron 1200, maybe it can be because i'm using the onboard sound, my soundblaster went on me so until i get the money i need to use onboard sound

my cpu temp non overclocked is a steady 86 f, with the stock cooler i got from buying the cpu oem, hmm, maybe i can overclock it a bit, it's too bad the multipler is locked, i wish there was someway i can overclock without using the fsb, i wish i could get the game to play, i love that game lol
