System Stability

My Win2000 Pro is unstable as hell. When I play games it suddenlyfreezes, sometimes after 30mins, sometimes after 2hours. It also has a tendency to freeze in regular windows. My system is perfectly stable in WinME (but Win2k is so much better), so it's not because of my OC CPU, it's running at 25-28degrees celsius ...

My Win2000 Pro is unstable as hell. When I play games it suddenlyfreezes, sometimes after 30mins, sometimes after 2hours. It also has a tendency to freeze in regular windows. My system is perfectly stable in WinME (but Win2k is so much better), so it's not because of my OC CPU, it's running at 25-28degrees celsius (I've tried to run it at default speed, but still unstable). Doesn't mather which drivers I use for my TNT2, 3.x and 5.x are both unstable. I'm not running many background apps, so it's plenty of free resources.
Any tips would be greatly appriciated.

My system is pretty close to yours and have no problems at all. I play HL and Quake 3 often. My system has never crashed or froze up. At least not that I can remember.

Go to Abit's website and download their lastest BIOS, and get their newest AGP Driver for windows 2000.
