Well it started when i upgraded my PC ( i think ) DAoC sound skipped / didnt play BGM ect, but i thought it was all part of that bug in that patch, and it being the only game i played on my PC didnt bother about it.
Now im playing FFXI and alot of solo PC games, Halo, the Baldurs Gate series ( just got introduced to em) and the missus is also playin Theme Park World alot.
Well the problem is in FFXI after a fair few hours play ( over 3 but can vary, i can play for 10 hours and not have a problem), it just freezes, the game stops but the BGM still plays, some times i can alt-tab / windows key out and reload the game, others require a full reboot via the reset button (wich i dont like doing). Also its not playing all the sounds it misses some in highly active bits and the BGM can sometimes start skipping like it did in DAoC. I put this down to my PC not being up to scratch for the game and lowered some settings.
Now last night bordom struckso i played Theme park world, and the same thing happened after 10 mins of play just froze needing a full reboot, now i know my system can handle that game i asked me missus if it had happened before and she said it does some times but not often.
Anyways any of you lot know whats happening? System spec below ( taken from dxdaig, need owt else ask me)
