there´s the solution

I'm having similar issues with my own card (GF3). Wtf is wrong with these cards? (or is it the drivers?)

Funny all the reviewers complain that the ATI cards have driver problems. ie Radeon 8500. I have never had any problems with my card. The over all visual quality blows away my buddies Geforce3. On to your driver problems have you'll installed the latest AGP,chipset drivers for your respective boards? A friends system had similar problems until I updated with Via 4.37a and AGP 4.10. He is using latest driver from Leadtek whatever version that is. Good Luck.

There seems to be a big problem with the Nvidia 23.11 drivers. Many people have freezeups and or spontanious reboots. In fact quite a lot of people! Nvidia had better fix this in the next version. What good are hot drivers if they crash your computer? Try 22.80s their stable.

I'm NOT havong any problems with my GF2MX card with the newest Detonator. I'm running WinXPpro on a 1GHz Athlon on KT7A RAID Abit with 1024MB RAM.
But i'm not running Q3, cause it sux!

Go into your BIOS. Look around for something that says 'Plug & Play OS' and set it to false.

that ecs motherboard explains it all , they suck in windows xp , half the time those dont even go into dma mode for drives or cdroms correct. get another motherboard, i have soyo dragon plus and gforce 3 and use the certified drivers and ever drive I have tried works fine in nascar 4, not one problem yet. but when I had the esc mother board was all problems
