I got this on my Guillemot Fortissimo sound card (with amd + geforce 2).
  It was the sound card drivers.  I know its an unlikely source, but it
did the trick for me.

All the best,
Ash

Do you have an internal soundcard?  Even if its disabled I think it
still can mess things up.  There is a patch for via motherboards to stop
"popping" with sb live cards.  I tried it at the same time as the new
drivers, it could have been the solution

All the best,
Ash

look under "other drivers" - 686B Bug Fix

It is a crazy plan but it might work - in an A-team stylie ;)

Hope it helps

Hmmm, how about via 4-in-1 drivers?  Have you got the latest?

There was also an IDE / PCI latency patch for Via chipsets....that might
do some good.

How about power management?  Have you turned it off in BIOS (APCI??)
have you turned it off in windows?  Have you turned off the screensaver?
  If you are using ME / XP / 2k(???) have you turned off autorecovery?

It could be an IRQ thing - check that everything isnt sharing the same IRQ.

Sorry I cant think of anything more at the minute,

Good luck!
All the best,
Ash

last week.(she'll still go by Judd in the movies I'm sure.)  <<I wonder if
Team Kool Green will drop Honda and use Judd engines now?>>  {Judd was the
original test-mule for Honda back when David Brabham was in CART wasn't
it?}[just had to use the last brackets]
