What are your computer's specs?
What Drivers are you using?
What are your card, CPU and ambient temperatures?
Is Aquamark the only application/game causing you problems?
Is your card overclocked?

Athlon 2500XP
Asus A7N8X
1gb pc3200
350/400 WATT PSU (not sure)
ATI Radeon X850XT (not overclocked)
All Temps were fine, I cant check now it makes the loud clicks when windows boots and the comp locks up shortly after.
Anything 3d caused the problems but now windows locks upon boot, I have my 9600xt back in im backing up some stuff and am going to format.

Ok. The first thing that comes to mind is a power issue.
Try to unplug extra components such as CD/DVD-ROM, extra PCI cards, floppy and fans.
We basically will try to see if your card is "asking" for power that your PSU can't supply.
Did your power supply come with the case, or is it a brand name?
