Every now and then my system freezes completely. Only a power-cycle makes it
running again. This happens especially during games (also games that did not
give any problems before), but also sometimes when I am working or on the
internet. I suspect my VGA kaart, but how can I check this for sure?

My configuration:

ASUS A7V8X with onboard audio
AMD Athlon Xp 2600+
Corsair 512 MB
Albatron Geforce 5900XT 128 MB
120 Gb Maxtor IDE HD
30 Gb Maxtor IDE HD
Pioneer DVD-ROM
Pioneer DVD+/-RW
Canopus EZDV video-capture card
SMC 108 Mbps wireless LAN

Check your fans and heatsinks for dust build-up.Both processor and
gpu.Could be heat related.
