chipset issues with your card... or perhaps bios issues. Best i can suggest right now is to flash your mobo up to the latest bios and see if that helps.
considerd this, allready downloaded the new bios, will have to find a floppy drive to install so i can flash the bios (got a few kicking about sumwhere)
flashed the bios with the latest update, did nothing except make it slightly more unstable "under clocked" it down to 1.25 gig to keep it running stable considering buying a new mobo and cpu and turning this one into a 80gig mp3 juke box if i cant sort it :spangled:
