Dumb nforce, more likely. I dumped that board because I couldnt get dual core + Vista + AGP (Even Nvidia) working, dual core + Vista + ATI AGP doesn't even load the drivers. Basically the graphics crashed every so often. Moving to single core solved it as did installing the XP AGP drivers (but that caused other problems with overlay and directx) but the main issue was nvidia not releasing a completely vista compliant AGP driver and refusing to admit the platform worked, even though Asrock say it does and MS certified the board compatible.

In the end I just bought a new board with PCI Express.
