I recently acquired a used computer from a friend with the Mach Speed
K8M8MS mobo, reformatted the hard drive and installed Windows XP. I
also have a brand new MSI NX6200 TD256H video card to go with it. To
test the card, I started playing Day of Defeat, and it works well
except for one major problem: After a little while of gameplay (5 or 10
minutes), the graphics totally mess up and it becomes impossible to do
anything except open the task manager and end the process.
I'm pretty sure there is no problem with the card itself, as I have
tried using three other older cards. I suspect a problem with the AGP
slot or AGP driver. I have also tried reinstalling the game. As for
Windows, other than the game and the drivers, I have a fresh install.
If you suggest updating any drivers, I would appreciate it if you told
me exactly where they were. I've installed some, and I'm 98% sure they
are the correct ones (got them from http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1070). But even though it's not probable, I still could
be wrong.
So yeah, I don't know if this is a bad mobo or what. Please help.

NOTE: make sure your net.framework is the most recent one i think its 3.0 (make sure its updated by internet explorer > tools > windows update) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card (which you do).
