As it could be seen that I got multiple advises, each of which I tried to get no favorable result. Lastly I compromised with the problem and tried to live with it. But recently, I just couldn't start my pc no matter how many times I push the reset button and frequency of graphic driver crash increased to unacceptable limits.

I tried updating my mobo bios to latest version and the problem stopped happening. :) :) :)

Regarding the details. my mobo is Asus m4a78-em/1394 and graphic card is Msi HD 4870.

The BIOS version that made it work perfectly is M4A78-EM/1394 BIOS 2101 available at http://in.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M4A78EM1394/#download

This problem haunted me for 6 months, So I took the pain of writing this post.
