Ever since I got ATI RADEON put into my computer, it crashes a couple minutes after I start up a game with advanced 3D graphics. I tried to play The Sims 2 and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and both games crashed in the middle of play, but when I play The Sims Deluxe Edition, it works just fine. Does anybody know what the cause could be?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

You'll probably need new driver for your graphic card. Go to ATI website and download the newest driver for your card. It's also a good idea to surf over the game makers site to download the latest patch for your games.

The card may be drawing too much power..you need at least a 450 Watt power supply. Sometimes crashes are because of not enough memory .. add more memory...1 gig is good! Go to http://www.newegg.com

Did you try downloading the latest drivers off of ATI's website - http://www.ati.com
Sometimes, old video drivers entries on a computer can conflict with newer ones. you may have to Set windows to a default VGA driver to remove the existing ones.
