Epox 8kha+ and Radeon 9600 pro

[ZerosumGame]

I am having trouble with this motherboard and EVERY single graphics card I put in it.. Is this a bad mobo, or is there some setting in the bios that I am overlooking? It crashes (Lockups, colored lines etc.) with each different card I put in it. So far it has had a Geforce 2 GTS, Radeon 8500, and now the Radeon 9600 pro. The problems are fairly random, as they never occur at the same time of the game. I just updated the bios and Via drivers, no luck there. Is there a known issue with this board? The Geforce did not lockup, it just had artifacts all over the screen during any 3d game. Both Radeons lock up hard... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

whats the power supply and what are the voltage ratings posted on the side of the supply

Have you tried lowering your memory speed to 100mhz DDR? (PC 1600)

Do you or have you ever overclocked with that motherboard? Have you reset the CMOS and tried running from that state?

[ZerosumGame]

Have not tried the memory settings... Nope, not an overclocker at all with processors. If I want more speed, I will buy a new one.
They are cheap. I prefer STABILITY! So this little problem bugs the hell out of me.
