I upgraded my computer with Radeon ALL-IN-WONDER and Acoustic Edge.

I've been using onboard VGA+onboard sound and dared not to run 3DMARK2001 =)

anywayz, 3Dmark2001 benchmark ran fine initially. But when I set "looping"

option on and ran "demo", the system reboots itself after about 3-4 hours

without no warning.

First, I thought it was stability problem that's related to too much heat from

the videocard... I added an extra case fan and the result were the same - it

reboots again after about 3-4 hours of running...

For no reason, I installed 3DMark2000, which is the older version.

And then I ran "demo" 20 hours straight and it kept running without

any problem...

now I wonder if 3DMark2001 is somewhat buggy...

I'd like to know if others have had a similar problem with 3Dmark2001...

btw, my system spec is

p3-700(100fsb, not overclocked)
2 * 128 crucial pc133 ram
60gig ibm hdd(ata-100)
enermax 330W PSU
radeon all-in-wonder
philips acoustic edge

fdd...case...etc... I think these are all the relavent parts...

many thanx in advance
