I also have a GForce2 DDR card on an Asus A7V with a Athelon TB850 processor. I am also running the latest NVidia drivers. I have also experienced the same lockup under BZflag (randomly) and I have to reboot.
After lots of research - I found the following: Known problem between AGP and some Via chipsets. I added the option "mem=nopentium" to my lilo.conf (at the end of the append line) and it appears to fix the problem. Hope this helps.
