Ultra-D/6600GT/Realtek combo crashes Half Line 2

[TommyG]

So I got my new computer up and running (specs below) and all was good even without any overclocking.

 

However, Halflife 2 was causing my system to crash. It would make a bit of a noise and then freeze and require a reboot.

 

Turning off the Audio (AC'97) in the bios solved the problem, but obviously now I have no sound.

 

I have all the latest drivers from nVidia and Realtek.

 

Anyone having similar issues?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Make sure you have completely unistalled the Realtek drivers, (enable it in the BIOS and uninstall it in windows/restart)

 

Then use the nVidia drivers

The nvidia Audio drivers are so much better.

 

Why is the memory not in slots 2 and 4?

I'll try that with the drivers.

 

The slots issue is a little strange I admit. My memory is in the orange slots, but for some reason in Everest it refers to them as being in Dimm3 and Dimm4/Mermory Modules in A2 and A3. It seems strange....

 

I have no clue???

Mine is like that too, it is ok.

 

I thought you meant you actually put it in 3/4.
