windows xp locks up

[blizzard]

Hi all

I love FMS. It kicks Flight Simulator's butt!!!

Only one problem, I am running Windows XP on PIII 733 chip on intel motherboard with 512megs RAM and at the moment a GeForce DDR 32 meg. The game runs brilliantly in 1024x768 32bit, but after a while of playing, like 40 minutes or so the machine locks up completely. Any ideas??

I have also noticed that the task manager shows 100% CPU usage while the game is running. Is this normal?

I have a GeForce 2 MX 400, so I will be trying that card next. Will post another note if this solves the problem.

Cheers
Jason

My XP machine locks up immediately and I am using an ATI All In Wonder Radeon 7500 64MB DDR. I think the manufacturer's drivers just plainly suck! I think someone has posted custom drivers for ATI here on the forum that appear to be stable. Maybe they will have drivers for your PC???
