A7V133 Lockups Under Windows 2000???

[pcmodem]

Yo,
Having stability problems, but only with Diablo2 (Patch 1.05B), in my rig. After around an hour or two, it locks up. Background sound still runs cleanly, strangely enough, during the lockup. Ctrl-Alt-Del does not respond, hence true lockup.

System Spec's:
Windows 2000 Professional SP1 (+MS W2K AGP Fix & MS ATA100 fix)
AMD Thunderbird 1.133Ghz/266MhzFSB (Not overclocked)
Arctic Silver II Thermal Paste
Alpha 6035 PAL Heatsink-Fan
ASUS A7V133 MB (Via 4.28 Drivers)
256 MB PC133 Crucial 7.5ns RAM
Creative Annihilator Pro (Nvidia 6.50 Drivers)
Soundblaster Live! Platinum 5.1 (Drivers from installation CD)
IBM DeskStar 75GXP 46GB 7200 RPM HDD
Pioneer DVDROM 16x/40x
Tornado 1000 Case

Any wisdom or thoughts are welcome.

Did you install the AMD/Win2K patch? Its on the drivers CD.... I think they call it AMD AGP Patch... Its just a .reg file that you add to the registry.

And you said MS AGP patch so Im sure you installed this...

Also try upgrading to 4.29 VIA 4 in 1.... 4.28 can cause major issues. You can get them at www.viahardware.com
