Arty Strike - Screen Lock - Ear Splitting Sound!

**TheFatKidDeath** · 01-08-2007, 05:38 PM

This has been happening to me within the last week or so. I join in the game and within a few minutes, usually during an Arty Strike, my screen locks up and there is this horrible high pitched noise that sounds like a combination of the Arty strike looped on a broken record. Once this occurs, I cannot get out of the game, the only solution is to turn off my PC and reboot.

Has anyone else had experienced this?

I got that when I OC'd my FSB too much... PCI (Audigy) sound cards don't take kindly to overclocking.

It's happened to me about 4 times. After a min. or so, I usually get the "Windows has shut down to prevent any damage...yadda, yadda", then it mentions something about a Video driver error.
