Been around a few years wih this stuff but this is driving me crazy!

Fresh install of W2k w/SP4
New:
Amptron M7NCD-A02 motherboard
AMD Athalon XP 2600
400 DDR RAM - 512MB
Power supply
GForce MX 440 - 8X
Sound Blaster Live
DirectX 9.0C

The thing will go about 1 lap into a race and then it crashes every time.
Haven't tried using the onboard sound but that shouldn't matter. I think
it's a video card issue maybe, drivers or something. I am using the latest
nVidia drivers from their site - 6177. Didn't have any luck with some older
drivers either. I do have the latest drivers for the nForce chipset
installed for the MB.

No virus software installed. Just been to a few sites for drivers, etc. Box
should be fine.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I've done countless installs of the
Papy sims through the years and have never ran into anything this wacked!
