Really wacky problem with GPL

Really wacky problem with GPL

99% sure this is a heat related problem associated with the voodoo cards.  I
have v2sli, and had similar lockups in the beginning, and I dont ever
overclock the cards.
I put in a some of those RadioShack squirrel cage fans blowing directly on
the voodoo's and now I can oc the cards w/o any lockups.
