Help, I Have a MSI 649D Pro with Dual P3 800 EB, Viper V770 Ultra. I have used every driver out there and I cant get Q3 to run or stay running. I can run a dedicated Server with no problem.

If youve got Win2k, make sure youve got Service pack 1 installed. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers for your chipset and mobo. Check MSI's website for them.

Do everything Brian said plus make sure that you have the latest patch for Quake 3 installed (1.27)

What happens when it crashes? Just a lockup, or does it dump you back to the desktop? Or does it do something else? Do you have your video card overclocked?

Try deleting the q3config file ( I forget the exact name and Im at work). Its the one with the key bindings and game settings. I had the same problem and I solved it by doing the above.
