Game Crashing?

[Hobo With A Gun]

Whenever I start a game of ESF (or any other mod), the game runs very poorley for a few seconds (the screen sputters, graphics appear blurred, things like that), and then it crashes, with no warning window at all. I'm running an AMD Athalon 1.7ghz, Gforce 4 TI 4600 with 128 mb of RAM, and 512 DDRAM. So I don't think I have a hardware problem. Can someone please tell me what is happening?
