Chrales, I too am surprised the G4 even boots without taping over any pins. I'd strongly suggest (like other before me) to tape over pins 3 & 11. The Mac Wiki has a step-by-step guide to do so and it is not difficult to do. I myself have recently installed a Geforce FX5500 inro my G4 QS (933MHz) which is technically the same machine you have. It didn't boot without modification!
The reason I suggest this, is the fact that the 28 volts are supplied to the card and they seem to 'dissipate' somewhere as your Mac boots and works (for a while). Maybe the rogue 28 volts are causing the lock- ups!
