For some reason, my computer locks up everytime I am playing a game, it takes a few minutes but sure enough, it dies, I have to hit the reset button on it to get it to work again. I just want to be able to play a game without my computer locking up. I am currently running Windows XP Pro, it did the same with Windows ME. I've included the following about my system. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 6/1/2002, 16:23:34 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System Model: BIOS: AMIINT - 10 Processor: AMD-K7(tm) Processor, MMX, 3DNow, ~548MHz Memory: 768MB RAM Page File: 125MB used, 1753MB available Primary File System: n/a DirectX Version: DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0810) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.01.2600.0000 32bit Unicode --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce2 MX DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device ID: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0110&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_B2 Display Memory: 64.0 MB Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (75Hz) Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200 Driver Name: nv4.dll Driver Version: 5.01.2001.1240 (English) DDI Version: 8 (or higher) Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 8/17/2001 14:56:02, 1738496 bytes Driver Signed: Yes WHQL Date Stamp: n/a VDD: Mini VDD: nv4.sys Mini VDD Date: 8/17/2001 12:50:26, 731648 bytes Device Identifier: {D7B71E3E-4250-11CF-6867-D1271CC2C835} Vendor ID: 0x10DE Device ID: 0x0110 SubSys ID: 0x00000000 Revision ID: 0x00B2 Registry: OK DDraw Status: Enabled D3D Status: Enabled AGP Status: Enabled DDraw Test Result: D3D7 Test Result: D3D8 Test Result: ------------- I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some advise. -Iron

What size power supply do you have? I had a problem like yours. I had a 300watt P/S and got a new 400W. Now everything works fine! Good Luck, Jon

Mines a 300watt! CRAP!
