Hi, If any of you are having trouble with F1RS from Ubisoft locking up during play (after about 1-7 laps in a race), I might know the problem... It may be your 3DFX card overheating. First remove the casing from your PC, then try the game. If it still locks up, your card needs even more cooling, try putting a fan on the card to keep it cool as you play. I had loads of problems with lock ups in the game, but I got it sorted with the help of some people from this group by blowing cool air onto my 3DFX card with a fan! -- Dave Bowers

Another possible solution is to stop overclocking it. Run it at the default 50Mhz. If you don't know that I'm talking about, then you aren't overclocking, so don't worry about it. -- Rob
