I am having this problem with my graphics engine:

1) when i run the program, it works allright for 
   a while, i can move in my environment, look up,
   down, etc. Then after a while, my hard drive starts
   operating for every action i performed in the 
   environment (if i'm not doing anything, hard
   drive light isn't on, but when i instruct the engine
   to do something, the light is on), i guess it's just
   doing some paging. Then one of my biggest nightmare 
   occurs. my programs exited with a page fault. Anyone
   know why this is happening. I suspect that it has
   something to with paging or protected mode, but i 
   do not have much experience with both.

2) With the same program, i sometimes get a floating
   point exception error and sometimes i don't,
   what on earth is happening?

....gotta stop spending sleepless coffee induced 
   nights :)

thanx in advance.
