    hi, dunno if i'm in right forum and its 2:16am and i'm a bit drunk, but lets go for it:
    ok i have a 2ghz amd athlon, 1gb pc3200 ddr ram, 128mb geforce 4 ti4600, 100gb 7200 hdd, chaintech apogee with onboard lan and c-box for sound, running windows xp.
    2 days ago i installed my matrox pci adsl modem which appears as "conexant accessrunner pci adsl wan adapter" in device manager.
    ever since it has been crashing on and off usually playing cs.
    i have the latest nvidia drivers and looked for new modem drivers but only found the ones i had already, i don't know if i have via 4 -in-1 installed or not if so it was a while ago and caused no problems in the past, does anyone have any ideas to help???
    p.s. i used the pci slot for my previous modem and no problems so i don't think that is problem.

    ok thought i'd update it was the msblaster worm and i subsequently removed it now i cna leae it alone downloading 24/7 but if i play music watch a vid or play cs it crashes within 2 minutes. The whole computer just freezes and does nothing i have reinstalled the onboard drivers 3 times tried the win update ones and went to the site for the latest drivers all no joy.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
