win2k asheron's call lockups

[D'Enz]

Has anyone else here had problems with asheron's call in win2k, or is it just me?

I have a cel433, 256M, p3v4x asus MB, 3d prophet ddr/dvi, 2 20 gig HD, one 7200rpm and one 5400...

After different periods of time of being on, my system locks up while playing AC. I'm not overclocking, and have installed newer heatsinks/fans on both the cpu and vid card to see if that would fix it, no go. As it is, I want to overclock, but while this is happening I can't trust the system to be stable. Does anyone know what it might be? I'm running stock win2k directx and the new 5.22 detonator2 drivers from nvidia, and have set my bios settings to match what guillemot recommends. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, it seems like just you. I am running it fine, I don't have any problems.

one note...I seem to have problems with other games with HD access causing stuttering during play, and that seems to cause the crash when it gets excessive...I have almost nothing running in the background

I've played around with multiple settings, page file size, cache size, etc, nothing seems to fix it...could it possibly be the celeron not caching well enough? I've been thinking about upgrading the processor, but I'd hate to do that and not have it improve my performance...
