No matter what part of the program I run it gets a few seconds into it then reboots.

What's even funnier is when it comes back up, it wants to send an error report, so I do, and a friggin' IIEEE window comes up to say it has been sent, and it causes another system error, so it wants to send another report.

The f*cking error report causes a f*cking error!

Unbelievable, or not, since it is Windows, heh.

Anyway, I'm using the last official drivers off of ATI's web site, are the beta drivers any better, or is all they do is 'enable' smoothvision?

Also, I;m getting way lower scores in 2000 then I should, like less then I get with my 1.1 GHz and GF2U, and this system has a 1800+ and 8500 in it. PCIlist doesn't work in XP, is there another way to see if AGP and all that good shit is enabled? Guess I can try Powerstrip, hm.

And no I don't care about the scores, but I have to find out why the system isn't stable. 2000/2001 runs fine on my XP Pro system with the GF2U.

[edit]
I also have the latest VIA 4in1's installed, I just let them install by default settings.

Try disabling AGP 4x mode and see if that helps.

Might want to stop visiting CNN.com, it's corrupting your onboard RAM.

You mean in the BIOS?

I'm getting into changing some stuff in there right now to troubleshoot.

Pisser is only the first car racing bench and the stupid nature bench crash, the dragon and lobby both run fine, and kick some maighty fine ass, I might add. 2000 scores still slower then dirt, though.
