New card probs.

[creakindoor]

Hi all, I have just replaced my 2yr old 9800 pro (agp) with a Powercolor X800GTO. The new card is fine in windows, but crashes 2mins into every game and the first test in 3Dmark 03, back to windows or freezes-up requiring a reset. I have tried different drivers, the one`s supplied and the latest (6.5), also some earlier ones, same problem with all of them. During the driver install I get a message "Servere: Zero Display Service Error". I assume I have a software/compatibility prob and not heat. Any help would be very much appreciated.
