system lockups when viewing Flash content on the web?

Basically my Windows 2000 system on an Abit KT7a Motherboard locks up
several times a day whilst viewing
flash content (e.g banners on websites). The time it crashes is fairly
random. I think now it has been traced to a GFX card driver problem (ruled
out background software now)

I have a Geforce 3 ti200 and are using 44.03 drivers+ via 4 in 1 is upto
dat. Everything else with
the card is ok games etc.... It does lockup when viewing flash content off
the web (not all the time) e.g using macromedia flash MX. It's just always
when flash content is being show (a slight corruption of the flash movie can
also be seen- which suggest this is the reason for the whole lockup)

Anyone else vouch for this same problem and how to correct it.

I also had this same problem on the same PC but when running Win98SE.

Any clues. How to fix this. I'm stuck using my Matrox G400 on this system
which is a much slower card but doesn't lockup every 5 miniutes on the
internet.

Anyone else had this problem is it time to throw away the motherboard or the
GFti200 card and get a new one?

I hate flash, absolutely despise it. Their servers are currently blocked
so browsers can't even download it.

No, I have a GF3TI500 which didn't do that with 44.03, and just sold a
box with a GF3TI200 which didn't either, though I'm less sure of the exact
driver version(s) that were running on the GF3TI200.

You tried different versions of the nVidia reference Detonator driver?
How about uninstalling then reinstalling the latest FLASH?
