I've been searching the internet to find other people who have been encountering the situation that I presently have. There appear to be numerous instances of the computer freeze/sound loop/NV4 error message, but I haven't seen a clear cut solution to the problem.
Yesterday I opted to spend $30 on a Creative Audigy card. My personal opinion is that this will not solve the problem, but the price is right and it is something I would use even if it didn't represent the answer.
Today I will remove the heat duct that has been elevating my graphic card temperatures and install the new sound card (hopefully it fits). I will pre-plot a course and see how long it takes for the computer freeze.
I did notice another Silent Hunter player who has identical symptoms to my own computer freeze. I hope to compare system spec's to see if there are any similarities.
