OK guys the trip was cancelled! So last night I installed my new generic 300watt power supply. By the way, when I pulled the old one I got a surprise! The old supply was only rated at 235watt not 250! I wish I could say that the extra wattage solved the problem, but it did not! I'm beginning to think bluezebra is right, hardware issue.

Thanks for all the info, misery loves company! You and I can't be the only ones having this problem!

I have also tried multiple AGP memory setting with no success. (64, 128 & 256)
This week I'm going to take my system back to the shop where I bought the m/b and card and have them install another vid card that supports x4 and try to isolate the problem to either the m/b or the card. I'll keep you posted.
