Hey,

My new comp stuff finally arrived. I have Tribes and Battlefield1942 on (Ill put MOHAA on soon as its fixed :) ) BOTH games freeze intermittently. Tribes within 3 minutes, BF1942 randomly.

Specs:

Radeon 64mb vivo (I had this before.. it worked with Tribes)
Asus A7S333 (new mobo)
256b mb pc2700 ddr ram
Amd XP 1700+ cpu

Now, why in the world does it lock up!?

I have the latest drivers for everything, mobo, sound card, vid card, everything.

Help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, I just formatted my HD, so there shouldnt be many/any conflicts. Thanks.

what operating system are you using...when i installed xp i had a few bugs..mostly compatibility problems between xp and the video card..im just guessin here but if your runnin xp you might check the ati site for a driver that works with xp..i run a radeon card also...and had the same issues...also xp has a problem with open gl...you need a specfic driver for your card to overcome the problem...also found at the ati site..i know i made a lot of assumtions here..but i been there done that...hope it helped a little..good luck..BUTCHER..ONE MORE THING....you other guys who posted...nice job...you helped a lot.
