Heroes III crush error on windows xp

Hello.I have bin playing heroes III for a while,and after a long session the next things happen : the computer and the mouse freezes,then the screen goes black and appears the next message : "vpu recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics commands".After this thing happens I have to restart my pc,and the resolution is changed to gigantic size.

I never had a single crush with Heroes V that consumes a lot of resources,but with Heroes III it happens almost every time.

Does anyone know a solution?.

It's impossible to tell unless you can provide more info.

Memory size : 256 MB

Hardware acceleration : full.

2.) Disk drives :

Sounds like either a hardware problem, or a virus. One thing's for sure, a clean H3 installation on a healthy comp does not and should not run into problems like that.
