Radeon 9800 PRO Problems

I've been having problems with a new 9800 pro I just got (ATI just replaced a broke 9700 pro that I sent in).

After Windows starts, even in the first few seconds, the VPU crashes and the VPU recover box comes up, blah blah blah. I don't think it's heat, cuz it would also crash while I had a freakin boxfan right next to my open case. Here's my specs:

Biostar M7VIW motherboard
Athlon XP 2400+
256MB sdram
300w PSU
SB Audigy
40GB harddrive
1 exhaust fan, 1 cpu fan (and the card fan when it's installed)
Windows XP

Tried with fast writes off, 3 versions of the Catalyst drivers (including latest and 3.9). Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
 
Well, I changed my AGP aperture to 64MB and set it at 2X.

And now it works.

Leave it up to a computer to do something that makes no sense.

Guess I should look into getting a new motherboard now.
