It's a Geforce4MX, it's not going to run OpenGL very well anyway :) 
It sounds like you have a defective integrated video card.  I've seen
that kind of behavior in standalone video cards that are overheating. 
It might be possible to add a larger system heatsink to your
motherboard.  Sorry you have a sick motherboard.  If there's a way for
you to add an external AGP video card, you might try that and do a
comparison, but on a uATX board there may not be a slot.

Good Luck,
