I am having a problem and Im looking for some possible diagnoses. I was overclocking my system (Xp 1800+, Epox 8KHA+, 512MB crucial PC2100, GF4 Ti4200) and I found that when I got up around 150Mhz FSB I ran into a problem. My 3d was pausing. I noticed it first when playing Battlefield 1942. The game would freeze for several seconds and then resume normal play, but this would happen every few minutes. So then I put everything back to stock and decided to try 3dmark2k1, same thing. It would pause and then pick up somewhere farther into the benchmark. I tried reinstalling my video drivers and reseating the card. I havent tried swapping video cards yet, that will be my next move, Im just wondering if anyone has any thoughts?
thanks,
