I have tested this card on XP and 98 the driver will install fine but as soon as I try and run anything 3D the computer crashes or locks up hard. I was wondering if anything else could be tried to test it since the card does not artifact but at this point I am assuming it is beyond dead.

Well, first of all you could start sharing details with us.
System specs and what driver did you use. Share some sharp pictures of your card for example. The more info we have, the better. What does the crash look like? When does it happen?

At this point we don't have the slightest idea where to start

Builds:

Xp3000+ gf3 ti200 + vd2 SLI 12MB + 768MB + SB live @ WinXP & 98 Dualboot.

Try to underclock it.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
