It is a known issue that the 9600 line of cards is unstable "without" fastwrites enabled (we've been discussing this for weeks over at Rage3D.com). ATI is working on a fix for this, but to stabilize the card you need to turn Fastwrites on in both your system BIOS and on the SmartGart tab. However this may cause the rest of your system to become unstable....
