i bought a new AOpen MX400 64MB AGP TV Out card this past week...

after sorting out problems with the TV Out i solved all of that... BUT....
it seems after 10 minutes of playing like F1 2001 or AOE 2 or any other game, my computer re starts itself!

a buddy of mine with a similar card has problems in windows with the computer just randomly restarting!

i think the drivers are shitty... anything i can do ?? anyone know anything? Thanks for any help!

Post your system specifications. It sounds like a Power Supply problem. It could be that your mobo can't supply enough power to the AGP slot. Or your power supply is too weak.

wow... am i reading this right...

135 Watt P/S !? that doesnt sound too good :(

Your power supply is probably not capable of sustaining that many components. Upgrade to a 300 watt PS if you can.

I am having a similar problem but with a Inno3d GeForce 2 Ti 64. My computer will freeze up within the first minute of game play in both F1 2001 and in the new wolfenstein game.

I am running the newest NVIDIA drivers 23.11 but have tried all the other ones.

Indicently there is a similar discussion on http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forum.asp?cat=te&top=19992 as well as on the INNO3d Website. http://www.inno3d.com/q_a.html. This may help some of you.

If u have the detonator drivers it may be a problem. A friend of mines restarts whenever those drivers are loaded
