Asus Geforce 3 TI200 Trouble

[Guest]

My setup is:
Intel Pentium 4 1800 MhZ Socket 478
Asus P4S333 Mainboard Socket 478
Creative Live!5.1
PQI 512 MB DDR
60 Gigs Maxtor Diamondmax
Asus Geforce 3 TI200 Deluxe.
Windows XP Pro.

My problem is as follows.
My graphics card seems to crash in all types of 3d games like Return To Castle Wolfenstein, Ghost Recon and so on. The thing I can't understand is, you are able to run theese games properly for a short amount of time (10 to 20 min.), and then it seems like some sort of memory is full, and the game starts to move EXTREMELY slow!!!!!! I have all the latest drivers installed. My system is brand new to!!!! What is wrong?? Any help would be highly aprreciated!!!!

Could be that you're running out of power, or the temps get to high.
Also check if your AGP Aperture Size in your BIOS is set to 256 MB.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

Thanks. But my temp is not to high, either on gpu or cpu. And yes, i must confess I am new in the computer field, so what do you meen by running out of power? To small a power supply? It's on 300W... Again thanks for your help. I'm gonna try out that bios thing immediately.

A 300W powersupply should be enough.
