    Hi all. I recently upgraded my video card to MSI GAMX440 64MB DDR from a 32MB ATI Rage Fury. As well, I added 128MB of RAM. Since the upgrade the game freezes the entire computer every two minutes of real time. I have the most recent drivers and the most recent patches. The graphics are improved incredibly but that doesn't amount to much if I can't play the game. Before the upgrade the game ran well, albeit a little choppy. Rebooting the computer seems to be more difficult ie., I have to reset a few times.

    My 'puter is a 750MHZ Athalon, the aforementioned video card, 256MB RAM, Soundblaster Live. If there's any other information I need just ask.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Have you tried installing earlier drivers for your video card? That has worked in some cases.

    I'm using Windows 98, is there a difference? Wildfire, I'll try and see if that helps but can't try for a day as I want to give the guy who installed it a chance to have a look.

    Sounds like faulty RAM to me. Does your computer freeze just in NWN?

    Yes, the only time it freezes (so far) is in NWN.
