I had a recewnt problem whihc i posted on the win 95/98 forum. Heres the jist of it all.

Installed completly new componets into my system consiting of:
Pentium 4 3.0ghz
Radeon 9800 Pro
Asus P4V8X-X Motherboard
512mb CT6464Z40B Crucial Ram
500 watt Ebuyer PSU

Had a problem with:
Fault in MSDOS Extender
(Fixed that by changing settings in bios)
See here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/showthread.php?t=65490

Now wenever i start my pc it boots fine in to windows and every thing seems great. After a random amount of time, usually around 5 to 10 mins it wil freeze up as will the sound.

Occasionally on restart windows will error report and has often refered to it being caused by the graphics card.

I have updated the graphics drivers to the most reacent pos.

I have also found this error somewhere although i now cant remember where from:

ER_KRNLCRASH_LOG

I know its not a great deal of info to go on but feel free to ask if theres ne ting else i may b able to tell you

Look in your Event Viewer Log to see exactly what Source and Event codes are found and report back. You can access the Event Viewer by going to Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools.

As dai mentioned did you uninstall drivers before installing updated ones.

drivers for the graphics card from the ati website were included as part of a control centre program wen i installed it, it then went through the process of removing all older versions

been usin comp couple more days now and have a better descriptiuon of prob.

Can leave windows on for hours on end, no crashes

can play games with lower demanding graphics suchas football manager also for hour on end.

Wheneva i play deus ex 2, pro evolution soccer or something with a bit of graphics to itr the system will crash after a random amount of time, the screen image will freeze (no bosd) and the sound will play from the speakers in a stuttery frozen loop.
