Question Arty Strike - Screen Lock - Ear Splitting Sound!

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.

If at first you don't succeed, you need more firepower.

There is nothing wrong with feeling something when you shoot your enemies... as long as that something is recoil.
