It's my our old friend - my dad's PC.
A while ago, he got a new Gfx card - ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, Tyan Tachyon make.
Anyways, recently it's been freezing after about 1-2 minutes of playing Moh:AA.
It used to be fine, it's all so suddenly. Moh: AA Breakthrough (the Expansion) was fine also.
So what's going on?
It's all (seems to be) installed properly.
It has a built on thermometer thingy, and checking that before play, it's only touching 30 degrees C, and the danger area is 70.
Hmm.
Help!
(And MOD - I'm going to slap you if you touch this thread)

Apparently, Memory temperature 1 is 146 degrees C, and Memory temperature 2 is 164.
VPU temp is 83, apparently.
This is according to the Tyan Tachyon control panel thing, that gives you the temperature etc.
There's only 1 stick of RAM by the way.
Muuuhhhh.

Could be dodgy ram or video card then i suppose, if you have 2 or more srtickc of ram then remove some until you have just one stick in then try it, also try closing down all background apps.

The thing that really keeps bugging me though, is that it was working perfectly well not too long ago.
You could play for hours, and it'd be fine.
Hmm.

Sorry, forgot to mention that.
The drivers that were in were the new ones from ati.com, which I installed less than a month ago.
No avail.
So, I uninstalled the card completely, physically removed it, reinstalled it all, updated AGP chipset driver from sis.com, then tried it, and it froze after about 2 minutes (about half an hour ago all this was).
GRR!

First off all update your graphics drivers then see if that works, also check temps of cpu under load not idle and see what that goes to, the other problem could be to do with the memory but try the other options before messing with that.
