Rig 2 in siggy is freezing up starting a week ago or so while in a 3D MMO game. I suspect my Ledtek Geforce 6600GT video card is going bad. The Athlon 2500+Barton CPU seems to have been working well all along, no over clock, just standard settings. I did replace the old Epox 8RDA+ motherboard as it has been problematic for years. Now have an SIS motherboard.

Anyway, my guess is the graphics card is going bad. I've had an extra fan on it to try to cool it but freezups are coming more and more often now. Seems I can't have it in a 3D game more than 5-10 minutes without it locking up now.
