When I play UT, sometimes it exits quickly and cleanly with no error messages. It's like I'm playing, then I'm looking at my desktop! Other times I get a general protection fault with some trace message that ends with "game loop" or something to that effect. Is this considered instability? Everything else works fine, and there seems to be no other issues with the system.
My CPU is not overclocked, and is reading around 50C while playing UT. Ambient temp is around 26C.

radeon ddr 64 vivo
windows 98se
directx 8.0
enermax 350 smartpower psu (in antec sk-635)
My first thoughts were to upgrade my video driver, and directx to 8.0a. I just upgraded the miniport drivers to 4.80 and that didn't fix anything. Should I upgrade the BIOS to version 1a12? Any other tips?
