I'm not having problems anymore, what I did was reinstall the gpu drivers like I mentioned before. Why I'm writing again is that another thing I did was installing my old audigy 2, which resulted in audio errors and crackling sounds. + I got a bsod while installing the newest drivers.. I had forced the original drivers because the installation program wouldn't recognize my card. Removing old drivers and installing the newest pack from creative ultimately resolved all my problems. So the problem might be audio hardware/drivers afterall.

Well, I've got almost everything on max now and it works perfectly and with fluent fps. If you've got x1950 series card it might be wise to use atitool to slightly change the fan routines, because the factory settings were pretty frightening. I haven't had a single reboot now.. I changed my settings so that the fans will blow @~80% and more from 70'C and while playing arma my temps are now ~80'C which is pretty good for an 1950xtx. On factory settings the fans will blow at full speed only above 100!? celsius. No wonder the 9800 series was notorious for breaking down. (Mine lasted 4 years though)

Because there have been a few posts, but nothing groundbreaking I'd love if people with their onboard audio problems could post here. My problem is the annoying disappearance/disturbances of sound especially on big battles eg. the first big mission. No gunfire and sentences being cut in half. I've got the asus p5k with realtek hd-audio, but I've disabled the hd-audio function from bios and use the ac-97 codec. I'm going to try reverting to the hd-audio though I originally disabled it due to system restart while playing arma. (turned out to be GPU drivers) I've got newest drivers for openal, mobo, the onboard sound and GPU etc. If anyone knows a solution I'd like to know. I've got an audigy 2 on my old rig and I'm going to swap to that if I can't get this to work otherwise. ps. If anyone has got problems with the audigy 2 please spare, so that I don't have to do the swap for nothing

I think that my problem was driver/fan control related because now that I've changed back to catalyst it hasn't rebooted a single time, *knocking on wood*.. But now I've got that annoying sound problem (loosing sound in a big battle) Guess I'll just have to throw my old audigy 2 in.

Well, seems I'm not the only one Arma decided to boot my baby yesterday, just after crawling for 400m back to my rescue boat Yay! Well, I thought it might be related to my onboard sound but then I found out that it might be the new omega drivers + atitool, atleast the fan control was way off, showing percentages that just couldn't work ie. 0% @75 celsius and above!?!? Just installed the new catalyst and newest atitool and atleast the fan control now works and it shows my mem speeds like it should. specs are: e6600 asus p5k (realtek onboard sound..)
