bAfter running a game from anywhere between 30 seconds to 10 minutes I can get a system lockup where the monitors have multicolored garbled lines all over it, and if I only one one monitor then it only happens on that one.
Sound locks up and stutters sometimes, sometimes it takes a while.

It started happening recently, faulty Matrox box?

Win 7 x64 RTM, 191.03 Beta, Nvidia 280GTX
Dell 2209WAx3

I'd be going with the assumption it's a general hardware problem first.

I guess you probably need to take the Matrox unit out of the equation altogether (i.e. completely disconnect and use one monitor direct to your graphics card) and see if your PC is still locking up.

what he said !

Seems the Logitech G15 keyboard software may have had something to do with it.
It's definitely not a general hardware issue that much I do know.

Wasn't the logitech keyboard drivers either.

Thing is I can go for hours on end with no issues, and other times shortly after booting up the comp and launching a game it'll hardlock, sound becomes all "sreechy" and I'm forced to reset the comp.

Didn't start until after I tried to run with the 191.07 drivers, ever since it's been downhilll from there, even though a format later and I'm back on 191.03 which worked fine in the past.

I swear there's no rythem or rime to this.
I decieded to give 191.07 another chance seeing as how things weren't any differently with the 191.03.

I suspect the system hardlocks when the GPU tries to recover from a failed state or some such.

Anyway playing just fine with 191.07 for now, but these locks are so random.
