Not sure if this is the right section for this. Move if necessary


Hey guys,

Just wanting to know if anyone has had a similar experience.

I have a FreeBSD 4.8 gateway machine with a dual boot win98/FreeBSD machine connected to it. When I'm in windows and playing a game, Diablo II or Star War battleground, everything will be fine for a while and then the computer will freeze. All I can do is hit the reset button to get it started again. I've also had this when the machine has been idle overnight and I start surfing.
Now I know win98 bearly scraps in under the banner of an operating system but it plays my games well. Any ideas what could be doing this? Could it be a dodgy network card, or is it just windows living up to its standard?

I haven't installed FreeBSD yet to see if it happens to it as well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
