If the latest chipset drivers and video drivers do not solve this issue
go into the BIOS and ensure the AGP aperature is set for 128 megs and if
the problems continue then either you have a poor regulated power
supply (this happened to me) or you have a physcial problem with the
card itself.

Thanks Everyone

I upgraded the drivers to 67.03 and everything works like a champ!

yea as youve said perhaps a better PSU would solve this, but failing that -
I'd get a replacement card as it sounds like theres a memory fubar on the
card. BFG have a great replacement turnaround so you wont have any troubles
there.

Yeah my supplier will replace it within 14 days and then I'm off to BFG
after that. Apparently it's even got a lifetime warranty from BFG

I had similar problems with a 6600GT. Try 71.20 drivers ( forceware ? )
