I haven't tried other screen savers, I will run some Diagnostic tests in
DirectX, my fan on my video card can be very noisy and may need cleaning and
bearings lubricated. Maby my Video Card overheated. I have never been there
when it has crashed, i just know it's when this screen saver is running.

Any how, if I find any other Info on this I will post it.

Yes, most recent software from ATI. I was using the Aurora Screen Saver.
