I know, I'm sick of this question....

...too. But it's been 10 months since it happened , so here goes...

My game won't work. Athlon 1.4, 98SE, GF3 Ti 200, 512 PC133, DX 8.1, NV beta 28.90 drivers.

MechWarrior 4 hangs after about 15 minutes of playing. I think it's driver/DX/game conflict.

Remind me of the methodical steps to correct this problem. What I should reinstall... in what order... and what drivers are the masses embracing so that Riva Tuner is usable.

Sorry to take up space with the perenial question....

this problem only happens in that one game? r u sure the video settings for the game r ok?

Well...the ambient case temp is 87F...that's probably the problem.

Onset of summer, plus apartment with no AC (Portland OR), plus overclocked card= heh heh... heat lock-ups.

The obvious first step is to return over-clocked components to standard.

Your original post didn't mention the over-clock at all.

I tried that, still freezes.

Come to think of it, while I was on voice coms last night, other folks siad that thier room temps were just as high as mine, and that their systems were actually running hotter....

I've jockeyed the drivers in and out so much, and removing directx so many times, I better just start fresh....with a format and reinstall.

Before I do that though..how do I check to see if IRQ's are conflicting?
