3.69 and 3.75 Drivers Lock

Wish it was that simple cause I am running on an intel board w/ the 440 bx chipset and I am locking up as well. In 98 I get weird green dots and lines on my textures. It used to work fine but now when I run AvP and gabriel knights 3 I get these weird textures. Then I ran final reality and saw I got them only on the apg test. I have read it has to do with the voltage the card is getting. Could be locking it up as well. Any thoughts?
