Problems with ECS K7S5A and Radeon 8500 hangup during games

I have a Radeon 8500 retail 64mb (Not overclocked) on a ECS K7S5A motherboard and ever since I started using this combination (Geforce worked fine on Motherboard) my games lock up everytime. (About 3 seconds into actual game sound will loop and screen will fill with Vertical Lines) This has been a problem for almost a year, some driver do work, but I am so sick of using 9 month old drivers bacause they are the only ones that work. Any of the newer Catalyst drivers are absolutely unuseable in games. If someone could please help me, I would REALLY appreciate it.

PS I have had this problem in Windows 98 AND XP though it was worse in 98 as I couldn't get any drivers to work.
