the problem is not nforce2... it's the latest ATI drivers don't support AGP video cards right.. there is a bug.

You can try a hotfix located here:

Roundabout a variant. Has collided with a situation after purchase HD radeon 2600 pro. On Epox 8RDA3L (nforce2) try to reduce by 10-15 % FSB. For example on 166 trunk works on 146. On 133 trunk on 125. On 200 on 180. All is stable. catalyst 7.12 - 8.1 DXdiag mistakes does not give out. The driver incorrectly perceives values? Including overclocking? Decisions while are not present.
