For some reason, when ever I play diablo 2 online, I get random lock ups. These will occur maybe 1-10 minutes into the game. Everything will stop responding, but the dvd-rom light is still flashing and reading the cd and my music still plays continusly. I have only tried when playing online. I do not appear to have any serious IRQ problems. The only sharing going on is that my NIC card shares an IRQ with two USB ports. The only other game that i have tried playing is half-life using the TFC mod and that plays absolutely great. Winamp plugins that use Direct X also play great with high FPS and no lock ups. I am really stuck here because if it was an IRQ conflict, i would get lockups more often then in just that one game. Also, is it still technically a lock up if your dvd-rom and music still works.
Here are my specs:
AMD 1.1Ghz T-bird
Abit KT7 w/ newest bios
Aureal Vortex 2 w/ latest drivers
Newest Via 4-in-1's
Last patch of Diablo 2(Duh)

Do any of you guys have any ideas?
