Hello, am hoping someone can help me.
Am getting this strange graphics error, it has happened before, after an AGP driver was installed for the motherboard. After installing winXP today (and appearantly AGP support) the error occurs again.

Setup is as follows:
Windows XP SP2 running on:
Motherboard: ASUS P4S800D-X
CPU: P4 2.6GHz with HT
GFX card: eVGA GeForce 6800GT

SL is running on a close to default configuration, only thing altered is network access and cache size.

Are you overclocking your video card? What is your tempetaure at? Most of the time we see this its a hardware issue. Take a look at this thread:

Looks like the result of overclocking too far to me. If you've overclocked try taking it down a few mhz. Or you could take $20 and head over to your local CompUSA and grab an Antec V-Cool slot fan, those things are great. Dropped my 6600GT's temp by 8C.

No the card isn't overclocked, it's stock, and active cooled from the seller.
Cooling shouldn't be the issue, as the problem didn't occur before the driver update in Win2k.
And am having no problems in Linux whatsoever.
