Hi

I would be very glad if you could give me advice.

My system looks as follows :
 - Windows 98
 - Sniper 2 (TNT2) manufactured by Powercolor
 - Gigabyte 440LX motherboard (66MHz FSB) with 128MB of RAM
 - Intel Celeron 466MHz
 - DirectX7a
 - latest Powercolor drivers (although I have tried all nvidia/detonator
drivers)

 When I play the Quake3 demo (OpenGL) the computer freezes after about
 5 minutes. Sometimes the graphics changes into vertical lines before
 the computer freezes.

 With certain directX games, where there are lots of 3D effects, the
 computer also freezes after about 5 minutes.

 I am currently in communication with the manufacturer of the video card,
but no solution has been suggested.

 Thank you for your time. Any advice would be appreciated.
