I am having some problems! please help

I have recently assembled a PC based on Intel Desktop Board D915GVWB with Pentium 4 3 GHz, 512 Ram, 80 GB SATA RAID HDD,
Samsung Syncmaster 152s LCD monitor, DVD combo etc.

I have not installed any graphics card and sound card but using onboard only.

When I try to play games like Age of Mythology, Age of titans, Age of empires 4, the game closes after a while without giving any message, so please suggest! but when I am playing GTA III game there is no problem whatsoever.

If I have to install Graphics Card which one should I opt for, my budget is around 5k. I am just a casual gamer and like to play only few selected games.

i dont think thts any prob with the onboard graphics

the one 915gv is quite good

and it will run all ur games smoothly

check ur software
update ur directx
and go for Win-XP sp2
and the latest drivers

and if u have the booty to spend on the a graphics card
then u might go for nvidia 6600 which retails for abt 6k
