Not here ... :) not anymore.

I had similar problems here ... Random lock ups but otherwise radeon was
stable. Sometimes that happens more often sometimes it would go without
locking up for a week or so ...
As a side note about SB Live! it was adding noise while playing music ...
That happened randomly ... sometimes it is there sometimes is not ... no
particular tendency could be observed ...
First I didn't notice that but with time noise became more and more annoying ...
... and my resolution came out very simple ...
One night computer's power block just died ... Next day I bought a new power
suply block 400W and here we go it is almost 4 weeks without single lock up ...
Now with 400W ... it is completely gone ... no random lockup because of
radeon ... :|
I can see now why random lockups happen given what is loaded inside computer :
(all because cheap power block ????)
MB: KT7A-RAID / Athlon 850Mhz (not overclocked)
4HDD (7400 rpms) (RAID enabled)
cdrom
Radeon VIVO 64
SB Live! (constantly playing inet radio)
Network ...
All VIA based motherboards require no less 300W power supply ... or so.
ps.
no more cheap PWR blocks ... 8)
just 2c.
