My friend had this EXACT same problem but with the Creative Labs Banshee
AGP. There seems to be a lot of random problems with the AGP banshee boards.
The solution is to get a PCI version of the Banshee or go with some other
AGP card. The good news is that there is absolutely no performance
difference in the PCI vs AGP banshee cards.
