Why does it keep crashing then if i have the correct drivers?

Have you checked the obvious?. that the cooling fan is running ok and free from dust buildup?

Also make sure your motherboard drivers are up to date(i.e AGP) as putting latest video drivers on can cause problems with board drivers if they not up to date?

probs just over heating,common prob,,,btw what game is it when it crashes

Yes took the fan off today and cleaned it, i also read on the power color forum that if i turn fastwrite off and turn agp down to 4 it should prevent crashes.

Counterstrike been ok for the last year but only happened when i formatted a few weeks ago, So i thought it might of been the format might of not been done properly but another one yesterday but its still the same.

cant see how turning agp down to 4 will stop it crashing

btw was it a 9600 or a 9600 xt,if its the xt it should tell u the temp of the gpu
