I've got a dual CPU (PIII/1Ghz) machien w/ nvidia geforce2MX card (the dual head one) / serverwroks chipset, IDE disk
And it's unstable as hell.
I cannot do much on it or the machine crashes. I've tried the defaults suse 7.2 kernel, as well as a whole bunch of homegrown ones (2.4.4, 2.4.7, 2.4.9, 2.4.10, ) I've tried reiserfs , i've tried ext3 Im back to ext2
Nothing works, When Im in X and start doing some serious X work it crashes when I don;t run X on the machine it's rocksolid.
I've run memtest 2.7 -> no errors I've swapped videocards with known good ones
I've tried pretty much every flavour of the Nvidia drivers and still no go.
Any suggestions ?

Oddly enough, those same problems are exactly why I switched to an nVidia
card!
I was running a VooDoo 3000 AGP and had those exact same problems. I
always suspected that it had to do with heat buildup in the machine. I
now use an nVidia GeForce2 GTS DDR 64 meg card, and I love it! The
problems litterally went away the moment I installed it.
I assume that this is because the graphics chip has a fan, and on the
VooDoo, it did not. X pushes the chip more than non-X, so when running X,
much more heat will be generated.
Does your card have a fan?
