Windows Suddenly Crashes

[Christina]

Hi,
I'm running windows xp and about once a day my computer
crashes under various activities. Its crashed when I try
to scan with NAV 2004. Also when i play Age of Mythology
it crashes about 5 minutes into the game each time. I
think it may be my graphics card, Visiontek XTASY 9100
64MB AGP, but I'm not sure. The rest of my system is
pretty new with a 2600+ AMD Athlon XP. Please let me
know what any of you think might be the problem.
Thanks so much,
Christina

Things to check - that may or may not solve the problem. But they won't
hurt...

Also consider testing the latest driver from the video card or chip
manufacturer's WEBsite. If results are poor, ROLL BACK to the prior
drivers. If you are unfamiliar with this process, it is best left to
someone who is.
