Hi All!
Very often in D3D mode in the some games, as I82/RR2/GC/Sin, my comp don't work more then 10 - 15 min.
After this time I have error or my comp is reboot.
Open GL work excellent!
What wrong?

Asus P2B (BIOS up to date)
Celeron 366 up to 550
128 Mb PC100
G400 32Mb

Are you using Windows 2000? What version of DirectX? I have the same problem, Win2k gives me a BSOD and then it reboots. I believe all you have to do is uninstall and then re-install DirectX, but since I don't know how to uninstall it, I plan to format soon (I have to anyways, Win2k Advanced Server is a pain in the ass if youre not doing that much with servers, duh =])

My OS is Windows98SE.
DirectX is 7.0a
PD v6.10.021

Possibly too much overclock? Have you tried it without overclocking anything?

Hmmmm.....
And how about OpenGL ???
Please! Help!

PS. Sorry for my English.

[list=1][*] Please post your IRQ listings; you may have a conflict between some hardware devices... I know that after about that length of time in SiN, you should be in some firefights with a lot of positional sound, and so if your sound card was fighting for CPU time with your G400, it could mean trouble. In case you don't know how to copy your IRQ list, try this link in the FAQ Files forum: I want to show you my IRQ's![*] Check your system tray. Maybe you have a lot of things running that evenutally use up your system resources and kill your game. Try playing with nothing running but Explorer and Systray (empty but for the clock), and see what happens then.[*] A crash that happens after a specified amount of running time can also be caused by heat building up in your system. Do you have adequate cooling (enough fans)? Is the room that your PC is in very warm?[/list=a]
Also, you only have this problem in some games? Otherwise your PC works fine? No BSODs or crashes for unknown reasons in other programs? Let us know.

We'll be able to tell you more when we see that IRQ list.

Hi!
Thanks for all!
I'm changing my CPU to P3-500.
After 1 day of games, no one bugs in D3D.
I think problem was in my overclock Celeron.
