boot safe mode and uninstall the video driver and see if that helps, if it does, download the latest video driver off the net

i believe that you have some memory issues . try running with 1 gb or 2 gb of ram. evga boards are picky about their memory.

what sound card is in it? i would actually look at heat or the hard drive being the issue. but at the same time i have had symptons like this from my fubared creative xtreme music sound card.
if you dont have an extreme music soind card. i would reccomend you goto the manufactors website of the hard drive and get their diagnostic software and run it on the hard drive(s).
