Thanks Jeff and Gerardo; Here is some update. I switched a good graphics card from a running computer with this one, but it freeze up right away after I start mozilla. And I think it might have something to do with mozilla, so I rebooted again, but without lauching mozilla. And I opened a lot applications, like xv, gimp, games chromium, 3D-molecular displaying software PyMOL, abiword, and some other applications. It runs for hours withouht problem yet. So I think it probably has something to do with mozilla, but just couldn't find any error informations or logs related to it. I will try uninstall and install or upgrade it tomorrow. Thanks again!
