P.S. Hopefully, someone can help us with this problem.

I have the SAME problem . That happens with all my games that use gl. I read in others forums that this problem maybe caused by my motherboard ( asus P3bf ) . My monster 3d II is close to the motherboard and its too warm for it. That makes the games freeze. I’ll try to resolve that by changing the monster’s slot.

Games that have that kind of problem : quake1 , quake3 , half-life , homeworld , Thief.

Please , help us.

OK guys i have Asked around and this freeze is due to the motherboard overheating and
locking up (turning itself off so it doesnt overheat)

tehre are many solutions…more Fans , New Cpu’s, different video card slots

im gettign a new computer like today or tomorow

PEACE OUT

Same problem here! Maby I’ll buy a fan and try that. I have an STB Velocity 128. I would use D3D all the time but I can’t read the menu when I push TAB, it’s all blurry.? I have never heard of the mother board shutting down to keep from overheating. A lot of people melt down after overclocking their processors so this seems kind of off hand. Hope someone finds out. I’m going to buy a new Vid card anyway.

Having the same problem with my soyo 6ba+IV, p3 550, 128 M RAM, ATI Magnum. Bought a drive bay dual fan blower, card slot blower and a new fan and heat sync for my cpu, and opened up the case. No help- still freezes. Please help! I emailed ATI, ID, and SOYO, but no luck yet. Been working on this problem for over 5 months.
