My guess would be heat related. I have almost the exact same combo (512mb ram vs. 256.) and both run fine as well as Falcon4, Janes F/A 18, Halflife, Unreal Tournament etc, etc. Temperature is a "Major" issue with both the 1.1 and the Geforce II. How are you set up for cooling in the case? "Michael Heard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

More questions than answers......but did you build this system yourself? If not, call who did....because they didn't build it correctly. You'll be better off going to any of the 1,000's of computer tech sites....than RAS. Your problems are major and it would take a phone book to just list the questions to ask you about information you left out of your post (frantic as it was). Ask Dave Henrie if you think I'm fooling you! Tom
ah hah! "I" may have the answer. What kind of video card did you have before????? Was it a 3dfx product? If so...your best off starting over and re-installing N3, then choosing the d3d option. Same for GPL delete(save any setups you may have) then re-install GPL, use the D3D patch. (never ask me about hardware hahahahaha) dave henrie "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gIhO6.24267$%[email hidden]... > More questions than answers......but did you build this system yourself?If > not, call who did....because they didn't build it correctly.
