Ok, here's my systems specs.
P3 550 (not overclocked)
196MEG of 133RAM
ABIT Bx6 R.2 M/B
Creative Annihilator 2 3D Blaster /GF2
SB Live Value
NEC MultiSync XE17 Monitor
Win 98 SE
generic case/power supply
USR Modem (ISA 33.6)
2 3COM NIC Cards for internet sharing.
Well, here's the problem.
My PC will locks up hard when playing games after a period of time, to where I have to reboot. Can't do anything, just power off and on. I had Voodoo 3k before the GF2, I thought that was the problem with the heat, but I guess not. The m/b has the latest bios. I defrag the drive, don't run any other apps while playing games, and had this problem since I could remember.
Any suggestions please...
thinking maybe a more powerful power supply?
a newer m/b?
I play games in 1024x768 16bit color mode normally.
Posted this on GotApex, no help, so I'll try here.
thanks in advance.
