I running GP3 2000 on Win2k, Athlon 1.7xp, with an ASUS Geforce 2 MX 400 64M and 256 M RAM. I've just upgraded the drivers to the ASUS and now it locks up after about 12 minutes of racing. Have to cold boot the machine. Drivers were upgraded as the screen would black out after about 20 minutes and pushing the spacebar brought back the screen. This is worse. Any ideas why? Thanks Francys
Try taking the side of you case off and put a fan blowing on your cpu/video card. These sound like classic over heating problems. MadDAWG

Do you have all of the power saving features disabled in the Control Panel and in your BIOS? Jason
thanks to those who replied, and particularly Jason. Turned off the power saving features and guess what, no problems. [email hidden] (jason moyer) wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>...
