DVD Playback Problems

Alright, here's the problem, If my computer has been on all day and Ive been playing games on it when I put in a dvd, after about 15 min. it frezzes then I get a Blue screen of death, and even when I restart the dvd wont play. But when my comp has been off all day The DVD will go about 2 hours then freeze and then get a BSOD and all the other stuff. I suspect its because the cpu runs at 56c when I turn the system on it starts out at 35c then goes up. I play UT on it all day, and it doesn't so much as twitch.

My system is as follows:

1.33 ghz Athlon 266fsb (not oc'ed)
ECS K7-AMA
Geforce 2 mx-200
IBM Deskstar 60gb 7200rpm ata-100 HDD
Afreey 10x DVD
Sigma Designs Hollywood plus DVD decoder
Generic 256mb SDRAM PC-133
Windows 98 se

I would first try and reinstall drivers and your dvd software..about your temps ,you need to work on your cooling they should not be getting that high ....

I went to the ECS website, but they dint have a single mobo driver for the K7-AMA
