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

Achronos
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.
