This video cards keeps crashing now and then somewhat pretty often. I start Need for Speed Underground 2 Demo, all my graphics settings are set to the lowest. First the menu screen when it loads with the girl on it, I can't see the girl cause its like all in miss placed rectangles. Then when I enter the game, everything seems fine but after a little while of playing the ATI Drivers I've installed say, that my Accelerator crashed, and it either succeed rebooting (rarely) or it says that its switching to application something. Then my game just crashes. Sometimes the game just crashes and my card stop sending signals to my screen so it just turns black and I have to reboot. Thats whenever I try to boost the details in the options.

I have no clue what so ever on what could be the problem. I installed:

Driver Downloads for Connect3d Radeon VGA ,
CATALYST™ Package
[Display,WDM+Control Panel]

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Side note: When I first started my computer I had installed the video card and so my motherboard didn't dectect it had intergrated shared video.

My Specs:
- Windows XP Service Pack 2 / DirectX 9.0c
VisionMan GT3000 Socket 478 Barebone Kit / Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz - 1MB Cache - FSB 800mhz / Motherboard M955 478 Pin / AGP 8x / 512MB DDR400 / 450 Watt Power Supply / Connect3D Radeon 9250 256mb

The help is soo much appreciated.
