try getting new drivers for everything. (upgrade to win2k if you can also)

Locks up - your CPU or PS is likely to be doing it. Plz run Quake3 in Timedemo loops for at least 20min to confirm CPU stability.

3DMark2000 has KT133-specific bugs. Usually quits to desktop, not locking up. I'd suggest 3dmark 2001 to test stability; also go with win2ksp2, it's more stable.

Try goin' into your BIOS/Advanced Chipset features & check the AGP Aperture Size. If it's at 256Mb then that should be the problem. Set it to 64Mb(minimum). I also had this problem but on 3DMark2001.
