Redhat 9 Crashing - Video?

| Greetings,
Fresh install of RH9.0 on Epox 8RGA3, Athlon 2700XP, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro,
Western Digital 80 Gb, 512 Gb RAM. If I leave it running any length of time
the screensaver comes on. Hard crash. No keyboard or mouse movement does
anything. Control-alt-backspace or control-alt-f1 or any function key had no
result. Changed from random screensavers to blank screen but it still
crashes. The two keyboard lights beside the numlock flash simultaneously and
I have to hard boot. I need to have RedHat running all the time as I'm
attempting to set up a Vocal server which will run 24/7. I think it is a
problem with the video card and open GL. If a different video card would
make this easier I'm open to suggestions. I have access to a variety of ATI
cards and a Nvidia Geforce3 ti 500. I've googled but haven't found anything
that has helped. Thanks.

| Does the BIOS have any power saving shutdown junk enabled that would trash
your server? Like does it go into sleep mode, or shut down hard drive? If
I were you I would consider this as well.
