when running 3dmark 2001se, my computer freezes and doesn't respond. so i have to reset it. i notice that the memory on my videocard is hot, my dimm is normal temp, and so is the cpu. but when i run games like unreal and halo, my computer never freezes. so i'm wondering if 3dmark is causing so much heat, that my computer freezes. is my compy over heating? p4 3.0ghz @ 222X15=3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel @222mhz 80gb wd hdd/40gb seagate when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 @ 501/552can't unlock extra pipes. plz help if you can Audigy 2 ZS<

Well, you do have everything OC'd pretty good, especially your video card. What's the stock setting...350/500? Try backing off a bit & see what happens. Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

the stock actually is 300/400. before i moved to winxp, i had the clock at like 530/560. i'll back down the card's memory some and see if i can finish the tests then. i usually get 1 test away from finishing the test, then it freezes. it pisses me off quite a bit too. thanx for the advice as always jam. p4 3.0ghz @ 222X15=3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel @222mhz 80gb wd hdd/40gb seagate when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 @ 530/585can't unlock extra pipes. plz help if you can Audigy 2 ZS<

well, it still froze. but i can play my games fine and i got in the high 9900s. i just did each test seperatly. p4 3.0ghz @ 222X15=3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel @222mhz 80gb wd hdd/40gb seagate when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 @ 501/552can't unlock extra pipes. plz help if you can Audigy 2 ZS<

The 6200 PCIe could be unlocked to 8 pipes and will be recognized as 6600 or 6600GT; not the AGP version. With stock 300/400, it could be clocked to 500/600 and over with 3DMark01 SE up to >18,000.

thanx for your help lazyman. p4 3.0ghz @ 222X15=3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel @222mhz 80gb wd hdd/40gb seagate when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 @ 501/552can't unlock extra pipes. plz help if you can Audigy 2 ZS<
