This problem only happens when I play Age Of Mythology at any given time during the game. Its happened on other multimedia programs but not offen. Just more so now when I run the game. The computer system completely freezes up including the cursor. And the speakers start buzzing loadly. The only thing left to do is press the external Restart button.

My questions is what hardware component is causing this and how do I fix it?

WinXP Pro
AMD Athlon XP 1700
Geforce4 MX440
384mb ram

Thanks for any help you can give me.

SAME ? IN HARDWARE
(suggestion)Double thread I guess I should reply to this one in the hardware forum?
