Try to post to Matrox Tech support forums.
there is a nice guy over there called Haig that will be happy to help you.

Also - did you updated the card Bios ?
you can read on it HERE (http://www.highvid.com/software_t/update/1/matrox_1.html).

Cheers for the reply scuba.

I tried matrox and am waiting for reply.

I just upgraded the bios as per your instructions - mine was 10 updates out of sync.

So far it appears to have worked....

No crashes yet!!
