System Specs:
PSU:250w PSU
CPU: Pentium 4 1.5 ghz (P68 Williamette, A80528)
Motherboard:Asus P4B-LX
RAM: 512 SDRAM (133mhz per 256mb stick)
Videocard: Nvidia Ti4200 AGP 4x
HD: C drive 15gb capacity, 1% free space.FAT32
D drive 55gb capacity, 22g free space.NTFS I'm not sure of brand.
OS: Winxp Home Edition SP1 (I tried installing SP2 but it gave me a few errors)
--
CPU Temp: 62 degrees Celcius.
Games like Day of Defeat and World War II Online- games that I've been capable of running before without this problem.

When I disconnect from a server or restart the game,the cycle restarts over again with decent performance and then the problem. I tried unplugging my modem for about ten minutes which has worked with connection problems in the past but to no avail.

I've been thinking of reformatting this piece of junk but its so old I cant find the disks!

Thank you in advance.I hope its something that can be easily "cured". :)
