Bob: My goodness! You've been through quite a bit with your A3000T. Unfortunately, I would not count myself among the "computer experts" here; I'm mainly a "knowledgeable user"! Back to your problem, I have never installed or worked with a BridgeBoard. However, based on what you described (crashing machine after aprx 45 minutes) I would tend to think you may have a ventilation problem, and the machine is overheating. If the BridgeBoard is a 486 model, then I would be even more suspect of the overheating problem (the 486 is a notoriously hot chip) and if your A3000T is an 040 model or if you have an accellerator, that makes the overheating even more likely. It could also be a conflict with the OS (but I find that unlikely), as I have found 3 of my games on my HD will not run under 3.1! That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head; maybe others here might chime in with some more help for you… Good Luck! — Dave
