am using SBLive 1024!...yes i know what you are thinkin'
but, do you think this can be coz my drives are fragmented like hell?
i had no problem with things like this before, than just suddenly...blah!
though i am defragmenting my drives for past 3 days now! it never stops!
Thanks for the link cuke, found some nice things there. None of them helped the divx probs but useful anyway.

Well, om my way to fight the problem again!

Silent,
Make sure your drivers are WHQL Certified, especially the SB LIVE! drivers.

Apply all patches, especially the "AMD AGP Miniport driver"
