GFX card: ATI 9600xt
GFX driver: ATI Proprietary Linux Driver 3.9.0 (xfree86 version 3.4.0)
Distro: Mandrake
Kernel: 2.4.22.32
Games affected: Call of duty, farcry, tactical ops, UT2004 + mods.

Hey, it seems all the games listed above (everyone i have) seems to crash anywhere between 1 and 15 minutes after starting them up. They freeze for about a second, then quit to desktop with no error message coming up.
I'm really stumped about this. Any help or any direction to a log file that may help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced, Grease

The fact that its an ATI card with the 3.9.0 drivers is the problem. If you have the cash, get an nVidia card, like a GeForce 5700 Ultra. If you dont have the cash, look for the 3.2.8 drivers, the 3.9.0 drivers have known stability problems....

K, will try downgrading my driver

EDIT//
Any idea where i can get the old driver for X 4.3.0? I can't seem to find it anywhere

For anyone wondering, or with a similar problem. I fixed this problem by moving to my original kernal (2.4.22.10) from 2.4.22.32, and getting the kernal-source for that kernel, then re-installing the GFX drivers, now it works lovely.

Isn't this version of Xfree kinda old??
can you upgrade to some flavor of version 4x??

LOL, oops that was a typo, i meant to put 4.3.0.
Problems fixed now anyway
