Geforce DDR + Athlon 900 + FIC AZ11 = Hard Freezes in any 3d

This is a discussion about Geforce DDR + Athlon 900 + FIC AZ11 = Hard Freezes in any 3d in the Windows Hardware category; Okay, on my Win2k system, everything seems fine, but when I try to run any DirectX or OpenGL application, a hard lock occurs either immediately or within the first 5 minutes of operation. I have tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling Windows, trying every detonator under the sun, etc.

Okay, on my Win2k system, everything seems fine, but when I try to run any DirectX or OpenGL application, a hard lock occurs either immediately or within the first 5 minutes of operation. I have tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling Windows, trying every detonator under the sun, etc. I'm currently screwed, so you guys are my last chance. Any help with BIOS configurations on this board (even from earlier bios revisions) would be good too.
 
Specs:
 
Windows 2000, non ACPI, service pack 1 + all updates, VIA AGP 4.03d and VIA Inf 1.02 installed
 
FIC AZ-11 with BIOS revision VDA43
Athlon 900 Socket A Thunderbird
275 watt power supply (PC Power and Cooling Silencer)
256 megs of PC133 Infineon RAM
100 meg Zip drive (IDE)
Pioneer 10x DVD drive
HP Cdwriter (SCSI)
IBM Ultrastar 36 gig Ultra 160 drive
Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller
Hercules Geforce DDR-DVI with Detonator 6.18
SB Live X-Gamer with Liveware 3
WinTV Theater
Intel 10/100 NIC
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm starting to miss Counterstrike...
