Just installed a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 after i found that old classics like GTA 3 and Max Payne would crash habitually after 30 seconds in on my 420 MX, only to find that to my horror, It still happens! Mind you in those 30 seconds before I'm thrown back to windows or in GTA 3's case the computer resets, the graphics look really nice.

Tried all the standard stuff, reinstalling the drivers, getting the XP service patch to update ddraw.dll & d3d8.dll, installed DirectX 9. But still my computer ain't wearing it...

Tested with Quake III and Medal of Honour, they run like a dream, however Warcraft III won't get past the options menu before it crashes.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm running an AMD Duron 1200 with 128 ram. A ram upgrade is certainly do-able if that's what it takes, but after having spent $250 on the Ti 4200 I don't wanna regret not just picking up a Playstation 2 instead.

Any suggestions for this predicament would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
