Abit(ATI)X700 Pro lockups in fs2004 and google earth

[mwebsurfer]

I recently built a pc with an Asus P5GD1 MB and an Abit(ATI X700)
graphics card and am having fits over reboots, black screens and
freezes. I applied a fix regarding peglink mode from the ATI forum
and have tried eliminating all items in the startup group but I still
get these problems. Can anyone suggest a way to find the problem and fix
it? I'm running XP Pro and the case is an Antec Sonata with 380 Watt
power supply. Pc Probe doesn't show anything except a small ripple in
the voltages and a rise in temps to 55 -60degrees C. Any help will be
appreciated. BTW, all other times the card is fine.

Look here for issues about Google Earth and ATI cards:
