Jimmy,

That what I thought, but the sound is from the speakers.

I'm running Dual Channel RAM at 1GB (twin stick of 512 PC3200). I took one
stick out, ran the computer and it booted up fine. Ran the game, and it
locked up with the noise, Took the other stick out and put the first stick
that I took out back in. Ran the game, and it locked up there too. So it's
not the RAM.

I used Motherboard Monitor 5 as well as Everest Home Edition. Both check
normal. Physically the CPU shows no sign of unusual overheating around the
heatsink.

Ran an event log, but the system freezes before the failure could be logged.
Could it be a possible CPU failure due to strain over time?

Thanks,
Bryan
