MOHradiant crashing and rebooting puter...

Hi guys, i'm relatively new to mapping, started a few days ago, looks very very interesting

I ahev read a few threads and all the help i could find on setting-up all my working environnement and a few basic tutorials as well, thanks to all the great work done here. Hope i can do the same some day

I have one problem though, I tried to find any answer in other posts but didn't find any infos, so here it is: after a few minutes of work, maybe around an hour or a bit more, my system completly crash and reboots by itself. It has done this with the Spearhead SDK, so I uninstalled it, downloaded the MoHAAtools.zip, unzipped and put the entdefs.pk3 in the main folder. Started again, set all the paths... once again, after the same amount of time i crash and reboot, mostly when i'm moving the camera in the 3D view.

Here's the log from the event viewer:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xfffffffe, 0x00000000, 0xbeaf142f, 0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: E:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini050703-03.dmp.

Did this 3 times today...

Running:
Win2Kpro sp3 on a AMD athlon1Ghz, 512SDram, Asus GeForce2GTSpro 32DDR with latest drivers...

I never crashed before using MoHradiant, so it might be related, any hints?
Anyone had the same problem? Should i just work some time and then shut down MoHradiant and restart it and just avoid working for hours?

Thanks for any help possible, didn't find any help at MS, just "contact your workgroup admin" or something like that

ps: yeah yeah, old PC, looking for a new one soon 8)

If you load to many textures at one time, it will crash. Try doing Textures/Reload every now and then. Doing that gets rid of all the textures you haven't used.

I don't know about the rebooting problem. It may be normal for Win2k pro.

Thanks guys.

About the textures, i click in the textbox at top left, empty it and press enter, it then just keeps the current used ones.

And for the RAM, well, i'm on a dual boot with 98 so i can't put more RAM than 512. Gonna buy a new one soon, will work with it.

Mapping, though i'm just starting, is very very interesting, not a crash will stop me from going on.

Besides, i now know the best place to go for help
