I have a self built computer with

Ga-5aa motherboard
64mb Sdram
ess 1868 sound
4mb S3 video


The trouble I'm having is that I'll be playing a game ( one of the above ) and windows ( 98se ) just suddenly shuts down to desktop. It seems to happen most often with Europa Universalis but has with Baldur's Gate. I haven't seen this with anything else. Those are probably the most system ( modern) games I have though. Any ideas? Oh and it's directx 7. Eight comes with Europa but it says it only requires 7. Besides the last time I installed 8 from that Cd it messed up a lot of other stuff. Anyway thanks for any and all ideas.
