Re: Prey freezes+Soundcrash
Try as was mentioned, moving your ram to another slot. If you have 2 sticks try removing one. This looks to be a hardware issue. Try putting memory timings to less aggressive numbers in the bios. If you haven't tried removing a sound card give that a try. Please don't just wait for a patch to fix this problem. There most likely will not be a fix to this problem in a patch. Errors from bugs in the code almost always manifest as a crash to desktop with a popup saying which instruction in memory is the problem. Freezing or bluescreening is very likely to be a hardware problem. Bad or old drivers, hardware problems or conflicts, etc.

We will continue to try and help you guys out with these problems. It's a bit hard with this one to give you suggestions because the only info on the problem we have is that it freezes randomly. You can see why that would be hard to pin point. Be patiant and hopefully we will be able to get a solution for you.
