Hi, I have a AMD-Athlon 1000 MHz CPU, AMI K7 Pro Mainboard and Hercules Prophet II GTS (Geforce II 32 MB) card. In some games (Grand Prix Legends and GP3 which I just bought), the screen sometimes freezes but the sound continues. Other games such as TOCA2 or FIFA99 run fine. Does anybody know: a) If this problem is related to having a combination of an AMD CPU and chipset and a Geforce2 card? b)If not, could it be overheating? c)Is there a cure (new drivers maybe if case a is true, an additional fan in case b) greetings, hgrm -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GED/S/IT d- s+: a-- C++ UO P L+ E W++ N++ o?

Yes, set the CPU to run at 950 MHz, GP3 and GPL have fixed fps and in order to determine the correct fps on your machine, they use the CPU frequency. However, they have reserved only 3 digits for the CPU speed, so your 1000 MHz CPU fill cause them to divide by 0. LOL. Dennis.
