[Haig] - OpenGL problem repost for the Beta Boyz!

[Larry]

Well, more specifically, Quake2, and Quake3DemoTest. This might fair better in the gaming forum, but I thought that this might apply to OGL apps as well:
It seems that sometimes, and more often after running a few D3D programs than not, Q2 or Q3 would lock up at a grey screen, requiring a reboot using my reset button. I'm not sure exactly what causes this, but it's really starting to piss me off. I don't want to need to reboot everytime I want to play Quake2 after playing Rogue Spear.

Anyway, I've got a G400Max running on an ASUS P3B-F mobo, and the problem can be recreated on an Abit BX6-2.0. I've tried switching sound cards from an SQ2500 to a Live!, and that doesn't seem to help it. If anyone has any insights, your help would be much appreciated!

I have had no problems. I'm using the regular ICD, as I only have a P2. I just finished about 3 hours of games. First I played Homeworld in D3D, the Q2 TFC in 1152x864x32 OGL, finished off by several rounds of TFC at the same res as Q2.

I honestly can't remember the last time my system locked up on me like you describe.

Actually, not that you mention it, I am using the TurboGL ICD when these lockups occur. When I use the normal ICD, it doesn't lock up...

Things that make you go "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm"???
