OpenGL freezes my computer - Hardware & Software

I got a big problem, all OpenGL applicalition freezes my computer... I checked, all opengl stuff Differently freezes my computer, the quake1 works for 10 second, then for 10 second the game freezes itself(and looping sound), minecraft works smoothly for 1-5 minute, then my system got freezed, blender works for 1-5 minute, then freezes itself, and if i dont quit from that applicalition, system freezes...

Buy new videocard!!!

Hard to diagnose, try running stress tests on various components to see if one of them fails. Maybe the card is dying and some OpenGL specific function is first thing to go.

Get a new videocard.

Reinstall drivers, but first remove your graphics drivers completely with [url=http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/]Driver Sweeper[/url]

"Geforce 4 Ti4200" Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Well, either your card is dying, either something wrong with the whole system and/or the drivers maybe it's overheating?

Tried rolling back the driver? Have you ever had it freeze when not using an OpenGL application? I'm sure you already know this and I know buying a new card might not be an option for you but that card is fairly dated, it could simply be dying. But first try rolling back the drive and maybe doing a memory test ([url]http://www.memtest.org/[/url]). Again I know you don't want to buy a new card but you can probably pick up an AGP x700 from Craigslist for about $30 or something, not to mention going from a Geforce 4 to something even a little bit newer like a used 6600 or x700 would make a world of difference for less than $40.

Try and stress test the card, that will usually reveal if something is up.
