experiencing lockups while using opengl apps


Hi,

This is my situation. I experience lockups when ever I use opengl application. Not rightway, sometimes a few minites after I startup the application, sometimes longer. Before the lockup, everything is working fine. (that is I got a decent number of frames per second). I experienced lookups with quake 3, unreal tournament 2003/4, blender, glxgears. I can't post any error messages because I have to hard reboot after the lockup.

Here are my specs;

CPU: AMD athlon 900 MHz
mobo: asus A7V-E, VIA KT133 chipset
memory: 386 Mb
graphics card: ati radeon 9600, 265 Mb

software:
Distro: slackware 10.1, but the same problem occured in linux from scratch 5.0
kernel: 2.6.11.8 (custom compiled)
graphics driver: 8.14.13 (latest driver from ati)
X server: x.org 6.8.1

relevent section of my xorg.conf file:

Code:

Agp fastwrite is disabled in the bios.

I did an extensive google search but came up with nothing. If anyone can give me a clue what I can do, I would most appreciate it.
