did you check if your graphics card has a collision with any other hardware?

I think its the RAID.
 
XP doesn't like anything running off my RAID at all, that why I have it installed on a seperate ATA 33 (Yeah I know!!!)
 
The symptoms you describe are exactly what I had when I installed beta 2485/86/95 on my RAID
