gpl and tnt

I have the following: creative labs tnt detonator drivers bh6 mothergboard 128 mb ram canopus voodoo 1 windows 98 When i play gpl with the tnt it locks after playing for a while. I have a fan on the tnt chip and other games do not do this. I can cont-alt-del to windows so it is not the cpu. When i try to reboot the game the visible screen is real small on the monitor. I am using the gpl patch. The tnt is much faster than the voodoo and a better image too. Does anyone have any answers?

Yeah, get rid of the detonator drivers. Try the 0.48 Nvidia reference drivers & see if that doesn't cure it. Also get rid of DX 6.1 if you have that installed & go back to DX 6 - sadly the only way to do that reliably is to reinstall Windows from scratch...

Yep. DirectX 6 bought me 8fps. 6.1 took two back :( -Larry > Yeah, get rid of the detonator drivers. Try the 0.48 Nvidia reference > drivers & see if that doesn't cure it.

Although it seems not to be the CPU, I would try to slightly increase the CPU voltage anyway (by 0.05 or 0.1 V). With my Celery on 450/2V I had just about the same problem (GPL locking after some time, other software fine). Since I oc my Asus TNT, I thought that would be the problem, but it wasn't. For GPL I had to up the CPU voltage to 2.1V to get the problem to take a hike, for everything else 2.05V was sufficient. I've now got it running at 467/2.2V (installed a fan in the side of the pc cover that blows cool air directly onto the cpu, it now stays as cool as with the cover off, maybe even cooler). -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands.
