x800xl issues

[ERL322]

First let me give the specs:

ATI x800XL 256MB
Asus A8N5X
A64 3500+ Venice
500w Dynex PSU
2x1GB Corsair XMS
SB Audigy2 ZS

Everything is running at stock

For some reason randomly it will lock up with a high pitched whine and my secodary monitor will shut off, the temps are decent at the time of the lock ups. anyone have this issue/solution?

Do you have the latest chipset drivers and GPU drivers installed for your system?

Any overclocks?

Mine locked up (but didn't have the whine), so I bought a Zalman VF700 and the problems seemed to go away (for the most part).

Even better though, the card is now virtually silent.

It might be worth a shot to try that out.

-D'oh!

Thanks, I'm getting rather fed up with the MCE2005 at this point, if only WoW and HL2 could run on linux. I'm looking around for some decent PVR software that I can run on x64
