I agree it is hardware related and would; even hazard a guess the vid card
is AGP and has over 8 meg on bord. Have had exactly the same problems when I
upgraded my video card to agp. tried voodoo3 16meg and Diamond stealth
extreme 32meg, both agp. Both caused probs. Found out it was a Problem with
AGP cards with over 8meg on bord and Via chip sets. I changed
otherboards( Went to Gigabyte Bx ) and all was well. I know that diamond
have a bios upgrade for their Agp cards to help with VIA chipset
incompatibility.
Hope this helps
