    Swapped out the video card, same problem.

    Upgrading chipset drivers... well **** that means I have to find a floppy drive.

    What will slowing down the memory accomplish? It's worked fine for months with the same ram configuration.

      I once had PC2700 mem that would only run at 266 on my old mobo. By going into BIOS I limited the speed of it to 266 instead of 333. Ran the mem clock slower, but it was much more stable.

      If the same mem worked before, I doubt that's it.

      What changes did you make before it started doing it?

        Absolutely nothing changed. I updated the video driver - game still caused crashes. Today I was playing, it crashed like usual but started this lockup business. Fun, eh?

            It does sound like the mobo - or a software related problem. It's very odd that it locks up faster in safe mode than with a standard boot. I assume that you are running XP Pro?

                Yes, XP Pro. Nicer yet is that my "backup" computer won't take an operating system. That made me very happy. :rolleyes:
