Have you tried reseating the vid card? Some AGP slots can be a bit unstable, just pull the card out and reinstall it.
Also is your ram in the dim1slot?

i did notice that when i'm in the middle of doing somethiignlike games or office application,it freezes on me so i have to restart. i didn't touch nothing on the biois or change the card from the slot. my friend told me it's the motherboard problem"sigh" well, i have to purchase another one........crap!

acually i wouldn't jump the gun and buy a new mobo yet. It sounds like your problem might aslo have been caused by a faulty power supply. If you don't have a spare one, move your machine next to one of your friend's computers, take off both of your mobo power cords, hook up his power to your mobo, hd and whatnot. That'll be a quick and easy way to check if it work if his cables will reach into yours. That's what i ended haveing to do when I thought my ps had died.
