I sometimes get full system crashes when playing Scorched3D. The crashes seem to follow a certain pattern: First cursor movement gets restricted to horizontal movement only. Then the cursor stops responding. Sound starts looping whatever piece was playing at the moment. The image freezes for a moment, then the monitor loses signal.

Ctrl + Alt + backspace never works, Alt + Sys rq + R/E/I/S/U/B, however works sometimes.

The most recent freeze was so complete that not even alt + sys rq + R-E-I-S-U-B worked, which to my knowledge indicates that even the kernel had stalled. Any ideas what is going on?

I have a hunch this has something to do with the fglrx drivers (8.34.8) I'm using on this Radeon 9800 Pro. The rest of the system specs are: Intel Celeron 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM running Feisty Fawn.
