A little while ago I bought myself a new PC. AMD 2800 1Gb RAM (SD400) nVidia 5700. MSI motherboard with SATA and very high spec including built-in nVidia 5.1 sound chipset.
While it ran everything very fast EQ would always blue-screen it after a few minutes. I disabled the sound and it runs fine now. Albeit without sound.
Now I've bought an upgrade for the wife. (I'll rephrase that - an upgrade for the wife's PC)
P4 3.2, 2Gb SD400 dual speed, SATA, nVidia 5700 (256Mb). This time I told them to build it with a sound card (Creative basic card) and disable the on-board.
Same problem. Everything runs at incredible speed including EQ but EQ reboots the PC after a few minutes. This happens with and without EQW and EQPlayNice. Any other app and the machine will run solidly for hours.
I have not yet installed the ACT and killed the tasking prevention but that isn't really the same thing.
Any clues please. It wasn't cheap and the wife is not amused.
