hi,

here's my computers specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2600+ MMX, 3DNow, 1.9Ghz
Memory: 512 MB DDR
OS: Windows XP Professional SP 2
DirectX 9.0c 4.09.0000.0904
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6200,Integrated RAMDAC, 256MB
HD: 40GB Samsung
Power Specs: 300 W

Motherboard: ASRock K7VM4
Voltage monitoring: +12V, +5V, +3V, Vcore
AGP Slot: supports 1.5V,8x/4x AGP Card. CAUTION:Do not insert 3.3 V AGP card

Question:
previously my video card was NVIDIA GeForce 5200. then i bought the NVIDIA GeForce 6200 video card. from the on whenever i play games, it just gets stuck after a few minutes. there are no messages. i hav to restart after that.

i play games like HL2, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, FEAR, Stalker, NFS Carbon, Most Wanted, Hitman Blood Money etc.

These games worked without the above mentioned problems, though the graphics quality was bad.

but now i cant play any of the above games for more than 10 mins.

My friend told me to change the AGP Aperture Size in BIOS to 64MB. On doing so, i was able play a little longer, but the problem still persists. My BIOS, by default sets it to 128 MB.

Request:

Someone please help me to overcome this problem. i am a dedicated gamer. but this problem has caused me to stop playing. please somebody tell me a solution.
