ATI XPRESS 200 with catalyst 10.2 version and the card is set for quality in control panel of ATI.

now wen i play games.FOR FIRST 15 MIN it works fine then it stops suddenly and pc hang for about 2 to 3 ,min and then it start again.NOW IF WE RUN IT FOR OTHER 15 MIN then the pc hang permanaently and i have to make a restart and this process is repeated every time i boot up and play.

what can be the problem.......???????????/

>VIRUSES
>CARD IS GONE OLD
>GAME IS CORRUPT
>THE OVERCLOCKING
>DRIVERS
>HEAT

no other can be the reason except it.now the reasons hat are eliminated....

>I scanned the viruses with kaspersky 2010 and found no problem.
>I tried COD 1,COD 2 CS,MAFIA,......but same problem.....
>I reset the overclocking settings and found the same problem.
>I clean install the drivers and again install them in the system.....same thing...
>heat cant be the issued,cause the temp remains between 45c to 52c.....so no no no no no no.....

>MAY BE THE CARD HAS GONE OLD.......

PLEASE...PLEASE..PLEASE TELL ME IF THE CARD IS DOWN SO I GET 9400gt 1gb now........'

It seems that your system only crashes when stressed.

Run Prime95/Memtest/ etc...try to stress your CPU/mem/GPU and see if it crashes.

Also it might be due to insufficient power or aging. How old is your system?
