Posted September 22, 200816 yr I had a similar problem with a custom built machine. The screen would freeze and I would lose control of my mouse and keyboard. I would be forced to hard-reboot. After 3 weeks I noticed audiodg.exe was creating a huge amount of handles without releasing them (in the hundreds of thousands). While your problems might not be caused by audiodg.exe -- it could be caused by another process. I recommend you do the following: Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to bring up task manager. Then switch to the performance tab and verify that the number of handles are not increasing rapidly. Mine would increase at about 3-10 handles per second when audio was playing. If you find the number of handles increasing -- click on the processes tab. Click show processes from all users. Then go to View -> Select columns. Select "Handles" to be displayed -- and any other columns you think could be useful. For me, this was how I identified audiodg.exe to be my problem. If you find that this is your problem also, go here for a solution: http://schroeder-dev.com/node/1 If you find that another process is your problem -- search around on google. There will almost definitely be a solution for it.
