Here's hoping the TS community can help again. I've (somewhat) recently upgraded my video card to a PNY 6600 AGP card, and decided to load up some old stuff just to see what it looked like. One of the games I decided to try is UT2K4. I also installed Pariah and Quake 4. UT2K4 continues to give me a general protection fault after approximatly 10-15 minutes of play. Pariah, which is an Unreal Engine game just freezes after a few minutes. HL2 has also done this to me, where it just freezes. The reason I think it's Direct X related is that Quake 4 plays forever..no problems at all. Just in case my hardware information isn't known, I am running an A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo with 1024MB of Crucial DDR 400 ram, AMD 3200+, and the already mentioned PNY Geforce 6600 AGP card (non GT). I've tried uninstalling the memory controller, the IDE driver, and the SMI Bus driver one at a time to see if there was any impact. Everything still crashes. Also, ran the recent Demo of Dark Star One. That game also froze. I'm thinking of running the ASUS Probe program to try to keep an eye on my voltages, but this really seems to be a software issue since Quake 4 runs forever. Any ideas would be welcome.
