Hi all,
While playing Halflife or Homeworld, my computer freezes randomly in mid-action between 2-15 minutes of play and I have to press reset. I've tried the video resolution to D3D @ 1024x768x32, D3D @ 800x600x32, and D3D @ 800x600x16. No luck.
Drivers/patches installed:
DirectX 8
Liveware 3
Detonator 3
Running the most recent patches for the games.
System resources:
SB Live IRQ 10
GeForce2 GTS IRQ 11
3Com905b IRQ 5
(no other cards installed)
Cooling: For starters, Leadtek's GeForce 2 card has a fan ontop of a big heatsink. Additional, I have 1 fan in the front of the case drawing air in, 1 fan in back blowing air out, 1 fan in the powersupply, 2 fans on the cpu, and 1 additional fan mounted on the side of the case blowing directly on the cpu and videocard (hole cut in the side of the case). The video and sound card have an empty slot between them for added cooling.
Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Erik
