Ok sorry if this is in wrong forum but I figured I may get more responses here.

OK, my is a Intel Celeron 534. 256mb ram, Win 98SE. HP Pavilion 8650c

I upgraded to a better gfx card, modem and sound when my pc froze. So what I did was install one by one to see which was the problem.

After I concluded it was the sound card it may have been damaged I bought a new one.

When I install the drivers etc etc. And reboot after request, my pc loads up everything fine... then I hear my windows boot up song file and a few secs after it my pc freezes and makes a very crude sound that sounds like the emergency broadcast station. (like "uerrrrrrrrgn")

Then my mouse k/b everything locks up. I remove the sound card and everything is fine.

I looked at all the programs... ran many diagnostics programs looking for errors and correcting them.

Please if you need any more info in order to solve this problem for me let me know. Via reply to this post.

P.S. Yes I know this pc is obsolete, but its mine and I do have a newer one.
