    possibilty the card has gone bad as ran into that issue twice, 1 in a brand new system with new card & recently a gateway intel dualcore laptop.

    just tested the video card on xp and it worked fine didn't freeze its most likely a driver problem i think it might be my motherboard because under windows 2008 cant install the amd or agp motherboard drivers
