I installed Quake3 on my system and after a few seconds it will freeze up and cause the computer to freeze, i have to press the restart button to restart it, keyboard is unresponsive. It also does this on Tony Hawk 2 demo, the only two games i've used it on, I was wondering what the hell is causing this and how can I fix it, please help.

Is your system overclocked, or running at default speed?

Is it stable in everything else (web surfing, office work, RC5, whatever)?

Does this problem only occur when trying to run games? If so, install latest via 4in1 and your video card drivers. What sound card are you using?

Try to disable one of the following :

- AGP Fast Write (does it exist on that mobo? )
- AGPx2
- SideBanding

Personally i find AGPx2 somewhat unstable sidebanding however works perfectly and
gives more improvment than AGPx2 over AGPx1.
