HELP!!!!
        I have a new system 486dx4/120 16megs Ram, PCI MB, PCI SVGA
w/1 meg dram, SoundBlaster16.  My problem is that when I play games
like doom, doom2, heretic, and descent, with sound coming through the
sound board my system crashes.

	I'm currently usin IRQ7 ldma1 hdma5.  Was using IRQ5 1,5 h and 
l dma.  

        If I play these same games with sound disable, i.e. -nosound
option, then they seem to work just fine.

        I've called Creative and they were stumped.  I really need
help this is getting frustrating.

        Also what are general protection faults, and what causes them?
Could these same errors be an indication of my problem?
