So, the other week my motherboard got fried and I got a new one and now I can't play a game for more than a few minutes. WOW gives me an error message about not being able to read some memory or something and KOTOR II just reboots my PC. The Blood Rayne demo worked fine for some reason. Probably because it's not in an outdoor area. I've tried different RAM sticks and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I think it's the video card but, I just wanted to ask if anyone here has had problems with the Radeon 9800s Pro and MSI K7N2 Delta mother boards. I have the latest drivers and BIOS for both the card and the MB by the way.

Here's the other stuff in the PC. The only thing that's not brand new is the Radeon.

Radeon 9800s Pro AGP
MSI K7N2 Delta mother board 400 Mhz FSB
Athlon XP 3000 proc
1 GB stick of DDR RAM

I'm thinking of going with this if I have to replace it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102425&CMP=OTC-pr1c3watch&ATT=Video+Cards

Have you tried Prime95 (http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm) to check for memory errors due to bios settings?

I just tried it and my computer shutdown and wouldn't turn back on for about a half an hour. That's bad, right? :lol

Try cleaning your videocard fan of dust, it could be overheating. I have a GF6900xt and every 3 months it gets clogged of dust and slows the fan enough that certian games will lock up.
