Freezing Part 2

[Neekzz]

The reason your post attracted me is because I had a similar problem with XI awhile back.

This post helped me.
You can skim to the bottom, the last post is the one I think may help you. The guy says...

"I had this EXACT problem on my new rig with the HIS HD6950 2Gb. Every game would lock up with looping sound every 20 mins or so and eventually after 5 mins the screen would return to the desktop (if i pressed windows key).
Good news is i think i found the solution. Rather than disabling the realtek drivers like many solutions suggest, just install the 'default' HD audio drivers (NOT the ones integrated with your motherboard drivers). Dont worry this installer removes the old ones.

I had to restart twice for the uninstall/install and ever since it has been total smooth sailing. Honestly i tried about 20 different fixes for this problem and i am so happy its all over. The only other step i took that 'may' have helped was lower the quality of sound output on the realtek utility. Hope that helps."

Also if it helps I'm using ccc 12.1 because any driver after that fails at XIV for me on my 6970s.

Hope this helps & best of luck to you.
