No
Single card=no freezes at all
SLI= freezes when watching videos. No matter what player/codec, BIOS/driver. ~20 after watching videos->beep->restart.

Trying 0801

I'll try to replicate it later on.

I'm using SLI with 8800GT's I have not had any video freezing issues. I've played all kinds WMP11, mastroka, divx, huge 1080P movies too.

I wonder what bad combo is here? Is it the 9800 series only?

Idk, but Im experiencing since the very first time I decided to watch a movie with SLI enabled.

I'll try to replicate it later on.

Please do m8

BTW, 0801 works the same. No performance increase with 7-7-7-18. Latency went 2 points higher (to 55) and scored the same bandwidth. Video issues still not fixed.

Just out of interest I have just noticed that removing my PCI soundcard has increased my memory scores in Everest noticeably. Have you tried removing yours and trying the video. Do you get better Everest scores also?

No I havent tried removing the sound card. I dont think is the sound card, I listen music everytime Im using the pc and I never freeze. SLI enabled or disabled, listening music never gave me a freeze. Also SLI enabled while gaming and using the prelude never gave me a freeze.
Why would the sound card cause a freeze while playing a movie?

And No, I havent tried benching w/out the sound card neither. How much did your score increased without the soundcard?

I dont think this is Prelude related because people with Xtremegamers and other cards are also having this freezes.

Im going to give this a last try, going to install 175.80 Beta with 0801 from scratch but Im going to make sure I create an image with Acronis this time. If this doesnt work, I hope tomorrow when I wake up I see a post from pmp saying "new bios 0802 changelog-> fixed isolated video issues" lol!

I understand your point, what I am suggesting is that the PCI slot is somehow interfering with the performance of the board. It probably does not matter what card is in there. My memory scores have definitely improved, and surely it is worth a try|!?

Not that I dont believe you but could you show me numbers please?
I think I said this in the other thread but Im going to give this a last try. Already preparing my files and HDDs for a fresh XP with 0801 w/ 175.80... we will see how this goes.
