N3 screen freeze

The last two weeks during online league races I have had N3 lock up on me.
Races were at Darlington and Rockinham, both 40% length, and the freezes
occured well after the half way point.

I an running a Celeron 400, 64 mb Ram, CL Riva TNT AGP w/ 16 mb, and SB Live
value.  From the little checking i have done on message boards, it sounds
like it may be a heat thing with the vid card.  Anyone have any
suggestions - is it time for a new vid card?

Thanks in advance.....

I have the same problems when hosting. Racing offline it does not occur.  I
believe it has to do with the way the sim is handling packets coming in. This is
purely a guess as I have tried everything else.  I also set my bios voltage up
to an asinine setting to see if this would help. No Go.  For me it is
intermittent, no rhyme or reason to it. The only thing I notice is when the sim
locks up, someone is logging in to my server.  Hmm.
