Not sure why the heck this happens but its really annoying.
This is the problem, while playing games my system will freeze and suddenly reboot. It doesn't happen everytime but periodically. The windows crash report says that the GF3 TI 500 drivers "seem to be causing the instability". I tried installing different detonator drivers that are Windows qualified but the same problem occurs. I have not overclocked the processor or the vid card. I have a crapload of cooling, my Processor temp runs at around 88 F and my overall MB temp is around 75 F. I have the latest drivers for my motherboard and Windows XP. Nothing seems to work. The system is completely error free other than this crash problem.
This is my system:
Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47)
Soyo Dragon 266A MB
512 Mb DDR
Visiontek GF3 TI 500
WIN XP PRO
Soundblaster Live
If anyone has any possible solutions or advice please e-mail or reply it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
