Hello. Below is my original post. I brought the computer in to the shop-they replaced an internet card. I brough it home, and it was still screwed. I brought it back--came out with a new motherboard---ta daaaaaaa. Problem solved. Phew! I have a happy teenager again!

"Games freeze"

Hello. My os is xp, and gamecard is NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 . Pentium 4, 512 memory. I have no problems with the computer, but my son's games always freeze up on him. Games like warcraft 3, max payne, gta3. Little shockwave or flash games work fine. I am not computer savvy, and very not game savvy, but am wondering if this card is common for problems. When the computer guy put it together for us, I told him my son would be gaming alot, and it has done this from the beginning. Lately it has him frustrated, as he says it happens all the time. It doesn't make me very happy either, since this is a new computer we've had maybe 6 months. I downloaded the newest nvidia driver last night, and it made no difference in the performance. Am wondering if I should complain to the store where we bought it???? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks very much.
