Are you sure it's the drivers? Have you verified that your
motherboard fully follows the AGP spec?
When the TNT2 cards first came out, there were many people who
complained about instability with them. Many, if not most, were using
them on motherboards that did not have a correct AGP implementation.
Some motherboards have AGP settings that can be used to improve
performance or stablity. You should check your motherboard
manufacturer's (or computer vendor's) website and/or do a search on
deja to find out if other people with your hardware have had
problems and if they've found solutions.
