[Pascal Watteel]

in reply to the following mail...

installed latest nvidia drivers and also tried with the supplied redhat 
drivers for nvidia... same problem... no temp problem.. try with a ati 3d rage
same problem.

system doesn't crash in normal use.. only when watching tv...

seti runs fine... as always....
