I have just upgraded my system.......
Processor: AMD xp2000+
Motherboard: MSI kt3 Ultra with 256 DDR Ram
256 MB DDR ram
Win 98
Graphics Card: Gainward Geforce3 PowerPack Ti/500TV 128MB

I have tried 3 or 4 different games and the sam thing keeps happening...Im able to get the games started but after being in them for a few minutes I get kicked out to the desktop. No messages or anything. I have worked with various game settings to see if it helps and its the same.
A friend mentioned if the system locks that it could be that Im only running a 300 power supply and might need more.....it has only locked once or twice.

Any help, advice or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you format your HD and reinstall windows after upgrading or just plug the HD into the new system?

After we placed everything, including a new hard drive we did a freshinstall of 98 2nd ed. and then loaded the drivers.
