Could be an overheating problem. Try removing the casing off your
casing and see if it still occurs. It happens on my system where
suddenly the screen will freeze for a split second and, if I leave my
casing on, it eventually screen freezes completely though I can still
exit out. Having the casing off generally helps me prevent this -
except on really hot days, which here in the UK are pretty rare so no
problems there then.
Also, hopefully you aren't running any other background processes except
explorer and systray.
I thought the AGP aperture was something that you really don't want your
computer to be using at all if possible because it means that the
computer is having to pass some of its graphics storage to other parts
of the system instead of just to your graphics card - correct me if I'm
wrong - and so, although 64mb should be the best setting it's a pretty
redundant one either way.
