I have a pc with a 700 mhz processor and 256 mb RAM, with video, modem, and sound cards all from aztech. Actually, the video card is the VGTNT2 agp and the sound card is a pci288. When the computer is softbooted, there will be no sound, but when you do a hard boot, the sound is there. But also, when I try to play a game, deadly dozen, the colors are all messed up; i.e. my guy is a white shaow, and not even 1 minute into playing, it acts like the video card freezes up and locks the whole system up. Any ideas?

Cheers.
 
Have you check for the latest driver for both ?
did this just happened recently o ?

try to remove the sound card to see if the video stablized ?
 
Thank you, I will try that, but if that doesn't work, is there anything else I could try? I would like to collect as many ideas as possible prior to trying this. I have to get this computer back and don't have much time to do so. Thank you again in advance.
