Comment:
Ok, the deal is, during a game of Battle field 2 or 2142, my pc locks and a loop of loud screeching comes from the speakers. i have tried new driver, for both sound and video with no luck, also tried different video cards, on-board sound with no luck as well. started with a 430w power supply, i have moved up to a BFG 650w and there seems to be some improvment in the amount the machine locks, but still has yet to fix the issue. Can play 2 hours and then locks, reboot and play an hour and locks, and after rebooting, it locks sooner and sooner.
Any ideas?

sounds like ur wideo card is overheating. or is clocked too high. try out atitool to check temps and clocks. see how high the temperature can go if you leave the 'carpet cube' running for a few minutes. and get back with the results. the 6800s were heat monsters.

i had the exact same problem, cept with xfx 7600gt. i had clocked mine, so i set it back to default, and no results. i got fed up so i sold it to someone else.
I had the exact same problem as you. I tried everything, but nothing worked. Then I figured that I'd update my motherboard's BIOS and guess what... it did the trick! Make sure your BIOS is fully updated by checking your mobo's website.
jesus. 104C??! thats crazy....u should cool that baby down. i know the 6800s ran hot but thats excessive. that kinda temps could start damaging the chip. it probably is overheating.

im surpirsed u could play battlefield at all with the 7300.ur 6800gt would rock that. does your case have sufficient cooling and airflow? still think the bugger is overheating.
