I noticed I started having problems when I swapped out my old TI4600 with a BFG 6600GT OC. Sometimes, but not all the time the game would freeze at a random point, the sound would play in a loop and occasionally the screen would distort with weird looking artifacts and or black squares. Usually it corrects itself after 30 seconds or so. I contacted BFG and blizzard but they offered little help if any. Basically they ran down a worthless list of checks to do (basically uninstall and reinstall the video driver) which is the answer I always get from them. I was just wondering if anyone has had any similar issues and what you did to correct it.

i've never had those problems, and i'm not familiar with those vid cards off the top of my head...you coudl try changing your video setting in D2 from direct 3d to 2d draw (or something like that...can't remember specifically...)
