Problem Possibly Direct X 9

Hey,

Recently I needed to install a game for someone in the family (Seaworld Adventure Park Tycoon) and it needed DirectX9 so I installed it off the disk, but then I started getting my problem - whenever anyone plays that game, or Impossible Creatures (by Microsoft) the game will just freeze randomly with no warning, and I have nothing to do but push the restart button. If I play Counter-Strike sometimes it freezes but it also will tend to just restart without warning. I have the latest drivers and:

AMD Athlon XP 1800+
1.53 GHz
512 MB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (Might be a cause)

I tried a system restore back to before I got DirectX 9 and reinstalled it all again, yet still the problem occurs.

*Edit* I also got the Windows Service Pack 2, but after the problem happened. Also I lost my sound temporarily since I got SP2 :P

Thanks in advance
