After a few minutes of playing games such as Rome: Total War, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, and the FlatOut Demo, my computer will crash to the desktop. Nothing locks up, it behaves just like I exited it myself. Any ideas as to what could have caused this? Cats are 4.1, Dx 9.0c.

    somewhere in the games sound config you need to lower its quality. This is a common problem in directx games...

    Thank you Gobbles. Should I try updating the board's sound components?

    P.S. - I hope you surf if you live in Ventura. ;D
