One more thing to add:
After a few of those kind of freezes the BIOS won't even recognize the Harddisk anymore, I had to turn on the machine without the harddisk in it then I forced the bios to update ESCD and the put back the harddrive in it and worked. Somehow those cards affect the system anyway. ( even only in CMOS setup )
