Video Problem

[Guest]

I have been using my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AGP x8 video card for over 2 years
now to play games such as Everquest and Battlefield Vietnam without any
problems. I have recently detected some video warping on everquest and when I
launch into Battlefield Vietnam my system either completely crashes or just
reboots on its own. When I restart my computer the OS tells me that it
detected a problem with my video card. I tried reinstalling all the latest
video drivers from the ATI site as well as reinstalling the games, and I'm
still getting the same problems. How could I possible approach to solve these
conflicts? Any help appreciated,
Phil

Have you checked the fans in your case, especially the video cards? It
sounds like the card is overheating under the load and crashing the system.
