Highly doubtful
Any thoughts about this? My video is the onboard video

Should be covered from XFree-3.3.x on up, it's nothin new, sort'a
old. BUT, since it's onboard and sharing system ram, there should be an
append in lilo (or grub) to let the kernel know. IE, since you have
512 MB's of installed ram, then there should be an append statement (or
part of it) in lilo sayin no more than mem=480M (eg, 512 -32). I
doubt this is your 'Constant computer crashes' problem tho. See my
other reply, ....I suspect it's not a video problem anyhow.
