Unhappy Can not change video card settings with YAST OR SAX2


I using SUSE 9.2 PRO, in the last installation step which is device configuration the computer screen went black and did not do nothing for 5 minutes. I pushed reset button and the computer rebooted onto the log in screen as normal. When I tried to verified the video card settings with YAST OR SAX2 (in kde or console log as a root) utilities the computer froze again, and did the same as above to regain control I pushed reset. I know hardware in the PC is as follows:

Hard Disk Drive: WESTERN DIGITAL UATA-100 MODEL; WDC WD400LB-00DNA0
CDRW Drive: MSI 40X12X48 MODEL MSI CD-RW MS-8340S
Video Card: Geforce FX 5200 PCI 128 RAM
AGP built-in video card: Disable in BIOS (Trident Microsystems

Sound Card: VIA VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller
