Ok this problem is getting on my nervs so i hope one of you guys/gals can help me out!

I just bought a:

Abit KG7 MOBO
AMD XP 1600+ (1.4GHz)processor
256MB Apacer DDR2100 RAM
Asus 7100 GF2-MX400 64MB-RAM
CoolerMaster cooler intended to cool a 1.533 XP processor
(nothing is overclocked)

The system is running a w2k with sp2 on it (Danish version)


The Problem:
The problem is that the computer frezz's every time i try to play, after about 5-10min (all games), then i have to restart the pc, couse nothing will work (it has also frozzen in w2k, but that is not often)

I have tryed all the diffrent gfx drivers, i have updatet the BIOS on the MOBO, so it has the lates avileble BIOS right now. And still the same problem. I have tryed 1mill difrent settings in the BIOS, and still the same problem.... has anyone a solution 4 this problem???

Regards
Train

First of all, download the Detonator XP drivers for Windows 2000. Then use the System Doctor and find out what the temps you your graphics card is. Then check your CPU temps. Also, have you installed the Via 4in1 drivers yet?

Probably heat. You need a couple good case fans and a solid power supply to run those Athlons stable.

Is your Powersupply reputable (good brand) and what wattage? Poor powersupplies are often the culprit in machine instability.
