I was running a race at the Rock last night in N99 and was suddenly booted to
windows about 30 laps into the race. The same thing happened while runnung a
race in Viper racing about a week ago.
If my video card was overheating, would the result be getting booted from the
game or should I be looking for the problem elsewhere?

I installed a 12mg V2 card and an SB Live recently and began to experience
lockups in GPL. With the addition of a case fan and a Voodoo Coolor from 3DFX
Cool <www.3dfxcool.com>,
I have not experienced one lockup.
Try running your machine with the cover off and a small fan blowing over the
insides. This is not as efficient as correct case and card specific fans, but
it might help.

In the mean time I'll try removing the cover and using a small portable fan.
Thanks
I don't know if removing the cover helps or hurts- good cases are
designed with airflow in mind, and removing the cover might actually
diminish air moving over the sink. I am not an expert- I just advise
you might ask around before doing it.
Definitely pulling any lint or dust out of the computer helps though
;-)
