I have a Hercules 4500 (yeah i know its crap, its around the equivalent of a Geforce 2 ultra) kyro 2. After i've switched on windows xp for a long time if i double click on RTCW it gives me a BSOD or sometimes goes into the game but i can't see the main menu the all screen is gray and its flashing. Also the graphics in RTCW like a river look wrong, it never looked like this before.
Should i try increasing the AGP voltage (i have this option in BIOS)
Sometimes when i leave the screensaver on for few hours it just freezes.
btw, this card is not overclocked.

thats pretty weird then, Sounds like your video since your AGP and CPU are running "stock"
