Try the folowing:
in your BIOS:
Turn off Video shadowing
Turn off Video caching,.... Nvidia cards don't need these enabled.
Turn off fast writes,.... Has caused instabilities with certain motherboard combinations.
In your BIOS if there is a "AGP drving control" setting put it to manual.
For the AGP driving "value" put in DA.

It's possible that the system is overheating your card. It may sound dumb, but try playing your games with the side of your case off to see if the lockups go away.
