My computer hangs whenever I try to play!
Just a quick - yet very crusual question! Whenever I try to play a game it's on for about 1 min. and then it hangs! When I'm in programs and just Windows 2000 itself nothing is wrong. It's a brand new computer so the hardware should be fine! Besides, it worked when I used Windows ME.

If you're talking 6.47 drivers, then that might be where the problem lies. The official Nvidia driver release is 6.31.
A lot of people have reported scuccess with the 6.47 drivers, but they are leaked betas and not an official release.
Try it and see what happens.
Also, log onto Windows Update, and make sure have all the Compatibility Updates installed.

thats a retarded way to solve a problem IMO (no offense intended). Your better off running an NT based OS because everything is going NT anyway so its frivolous to use it because come this time next year 9x support will be phased out and you will only have ME (shudder) and NT 5 and 5.1 support
I would be willing to bet that you are running at 2X AGP with SideBand Addressing enabled.
To test it, use a program like WCPUID and check the AGP settings.
SideBand Addressing only improves you FPS by 1-2 frames and is extremely unstable. 2X AGP on the other hand can give a significant performance increase.
So ideally, you would run AGP 2X with SideBand Addressing DISABLED. HOWEVER....I've have no clue how to disable SBA. So if you can't, try running SBA enabled at 1X AGP.
Not ideal, but I bet it fixes the lockups.
