Winamp \ Sound And LAN Stop working after some time.

Hi all,

I have just assembled a new pc.

Its specs are as follows:
Asus P4P800 Dlx Mobo
P4 2.8Ghz 800Mhz Fbs
1G DDR400 Kingston Value Ram
Asus V9520 Vs. (Geforce FX 5200)
Creative Audigy 5.1 Sound Card
Trendware 10\100 Lan Card

I am running Windows XP Sp.1

When I leave the computer on for some time, like 5hrs on internet (Via Lan) and playing Mp3s using winamp, the sound stops, winamp freezes at the position it is, but doesn't crash. Also the LAN connection (& internet through gateway) get disconnected.

Any Idea what can be the fault?

i'm not sure, but you astound me. You pay for a good full featured motherboard, you overpay for a 2.8 when you can easily OC a 2.4 to that for free. You even get an audigy. But wait, (not to mention the crap video card) but you're running value ram. I'm typing this with that motherboard, and hello? IT HAS A GIG LAN SETUP IN IT! You shouldn't be using that 10/100 lan card, it's just causing problems. Try using the built in lan and see if all problems go away. (and that motherboard hates cheap ram i hear) It even hates my corsair ram, that i'm selling

Thanks for the Jason425 feedback.

I think its more something software related ( and I hope so too ), since even when I used the onboard Lan it was same story. When this happens, if I press Ctrl + Alt + Del I get a "Windows Application Memory" stating "fail to initialize properly (0xc0000017). click on OK to terminate the application". I ll try to check on more about it.

Thanks anyway.

that's weird, youre not overclocked correct? When i push the ram timings or fsb too hard things like that happen

No I'm Not Overclocking Yet. Though when I try to put performance mode to Turbo it gives me an Overclocking Error

[Jason425]

yea that performance mode is very interesting.. in a bad way. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Supposedly it has to do most with the quality of your ram. If i were you i might try backing things off. In chipset make sure memory acceleration mode is off and at spd. Then make sure that in ther OC section it's just on standard, or just put bios settings back on default. The sound and lan work through the same bus so maybe something's up there. :/

Hi Again,

Well good news I have got out the Lan Card & Sound Card and thus using the onboard Lan & Sound. It is now working perfectly, the problem has not turned up since then, and it has been about 4 days now.
I also substituted the RAMs from their primary position (in the blue slots for Dual-Ddr to the Black Set). I will now experiment a bit and try to solve out what the real problem was, eighter the Sound Card itself, or the PCI slot, or the RAM maybe when put up in the Blue slots :|

Anyway 10x for the Support.
Cya

I use my ram in the black slots too. The blue slots are not only in the way of my video card, but they work no better than the blue!
