i think i have a corrupt open gl driver. when im working on max with open gl set as the display driver, sometimes i might be able to work for 10 minutes or 2 hours, but then my computer will look like it goes into sleep mode. but its not in sleep mode. no matter what key i press or mouse button i hit, it wont come out. im forced to restart my comp. when i set my display driver with direct3d, it seems to go away. but also, when i play any game that uses 3d, same thing will happen. ill get anywhere from 10 minutes to 40 hours of play in, then itll lock up and emit this high picthed noise. if it is my open gl, how cna i test it? im running win ME if that helps. my video card is the Radeon All-In-Wounder 8500LE. 128 megs of DDR ram. is the open gl embedded in the video card? if so, does that mean that my video card is faulty and have to get replaced? i had the same problem when i was running windows 2k pro, so i dont think its my operating system. i really need help here.
