Ok,this has happened to all my psx games lately. I play fine until at some random point the game freezes. And it's not just that. The whole pc freezes which causes me to manually reset. This is a real problem which I can't resolve with cds or ISOs. Here's my graphics config:

Could be a number of things.

1: does this happen in other games/windows, or just when using epsxe?

2: could be overheating

3: could be bad sound/video drivers (hell, I've even had ethernet drivers crash my computer, haha)

And probably a number of other things that people will post.

Actually, I just started using Delta and I've been having no problems at all. This happens only in epsxe,though. It used to happen in GTA San Andreas,but that's fixed. As for overheating,I'm 20 degrees Celcius below threshold levels,so that's not it either. It could be drivers. If it keeps happening I'll probly delete all drivers and re-install. It's a shame,though,don't you think? That's one lean mean emulating machine,wouldn't you say?

Check your BIOS settings.

Ensure that the computer RAM speed matches the one with your motherboard BIOS.
Check your memory for consistancy as well.

does it happen in any other emulators?

what exactly is the freeze like? im guessing from your description it's the type where the entire computer just locks up. you might want to switch to Omega's drivers to see if that does anything.

For now,I'm ok. At least Xenogears has been running swell. I'll have to try with PE,BoF4 and other games to know for sure. I'll try the omega drivers at some point,but I hope they won't mess up my system again...
