3D games are the most computationally intensive apps. The cause to your problem is likely this: The main processor heats up too much resulting in computer hang. Get a bigger cooler. To check that it's really this: look in BIOS for CPU temperature after normal operation (non games). Then, _imediately_ after you get a frozen computer, reboot, enter the BIOS and check the temperature. >=45 degrees Celsius I'd say is too much, although this is an empiric value, based on my experience. The processor of the video card heats up too much. Check the cooler or heatsink on it. -- Silviu Marin-Caea Systems Engineer Linux/Unix http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961
