I have a Apllo Radeon 8500 64MB that seems to be bitting the cake. I've even started to be seing artifacts in webpages 
Anyway, before I get into further detail...
AMD XP 1700+
Crucial 2700 512MB 6-3-3-2
Soltek FRN 75 L
WD 40GB SE
XP Pro SP1 (Updated)
Anyway, with some certain games namely games that use the UT2k3 engine my moniter goes blank and the game will still play in the back round for a second but will freeze. When I restart my computer I get a long beep and stops for barley a half a second then countines the beep. I must turn the computer off to get video again. The ram on the card is EWST or something to that name, which is most likely the problem. Here is the error logfile

Anyone know if I can overvolt the ram and see if this would fix the problem until I get a new card?
