Default GA-8SQ800 with Nvidia Geforce 4 TI 4200 AGP 8X - crashing to desktop from 3D games

I have a new system with a GA-8SQ800 main board, Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghz and 512
MB of Kingston RAM, running a Leadtek WinFast A280 LE TDH (Nvidia Geforce 4
TI 4200 AGP 8x) video card with 128 MB. Windows XP Pro - fully patched.

It allways (ie every single time) crashes to desktop when running any 3D
game (eg Battlefield 1942, and even the games that came with the Video
card).

I am using the most recent BIOS (8.0b) and drivers for the main board and
most recent nvidia driver for the video card.

Any suggestions?

Try to lower the AGP from 8x to 4x in BIOS.

Got the same board and a TI4200 card (ASUS 9280) and if I try to use 8x, my
PC freeze as well.

I have tried this without luck, but thanks for the suggestion.

In another forum someone setting the AGP apeture to the same value as the
video mememory - is is possible to do this using the gigabyte bios?
