K7T Pro2A -- Radeon Killer??

I just built a new PC :
Duron 650
MSI K7T PRO2A
Radeon DDR 64M
IBM 75GXP 30G
ATI TV Wonder PCI
SB Live! value
Afreey 8x DVD
Panasonic CDRW

But the system hang everytime I start up 3d games!
I have disabled the AGP 4x in BIOS, tried different AGP Driving Values like DA DE EA FA CC CA 68 6A 70 7A 66 EF, but no one works.
The software drivers are all up to date, like DirectX 8, via 4in1 4.25a, Radeon 7.16 HCLDRV, and MSI 1.8 BIOS. the 2d display is OK and looks great.

Please help! I am nearly crash now. Do know who to blame, MSI, VIA or Radeon.
I tried another TNT2 card to replace Radeon and plays 3d quite good except not very stable. Isn't K7TPro2 famous for stability? I cannot believe it.

Thanks in advance!

I can tell you that it is NOT a fundamental compatability issue between the Radeon on the K7TPRo2A. I have one on the build bench right now with this motherboard and an All In Wonder Radeon, and it's working perfectly. It also has an SB Live! and both CDRW and DVD, so it's similar to yours.

Have you tried removing the TV card to see if the problems go away?

I also currently have a radeon retail 64mb and this motherboard with my cpu overclocked and 4x agp and all the memory settings and Im not seeing any radeon specific problems.

one thing I have noticed is everquest freezes every 20 minutes and I haven't a clue why, but haven't had another game crash yet since I got up a bit ago.

although I am ditching the radeon and getting a voodoo 5500 tomorrow
