Mobo: Asus M378A

What could it be? I have even updated the bios.


All I can think of is the internet lag in the game, is trying to destroy my PC.

    Tbh I'd be happy with a high pitch sound as long as STO stopped freezing my system randomly on ground environments. When my system freezes I tend to either get the last two seconds of audio repeat like a bad record, or cut out entirely.

    def coming from speakers, my system is well maintaned, nothing like that would happen with out me knowing about it. I checked all fans to make sure (even though the computer wont start if CPU fan isnt working, and Video card wont stop screaming if the fan is off.

    Its definately something to do with this game, I never had this issue, and I play Crysis and WaW alot.

    I have very similar spec to yours

    Mobo: Foxconn AS79-s
    Sound: Onboard Realtech

    I'm not getting a high pitched sound but i do CTD randomly. Sometimes its a crash that will prompt a cryptic error message so i can report what i was doing. Other times its a hard crash with the windows saying gameclient.exe has stopped working.

    I think i fixed it, been playing 2 hours with no issue, way farther then i went before. I had onboard sound "NOT DISABLED". So i went to Device manager, disabled the onboard sound. (I recently upgraded to a SB-X-Fi so i dont need the onboard sound). I was under the impression that i had already disabled it through bios. but i recently did a bios update and that made it reset, and come back on.
