EPoX EP-8HAL mobo question?

Alright...i have a freezing problem on my computer. I have had this issue over all OS'es from 95-XP, with every version. What happens is the image freezes and then the sound loops on that second when it froze. *Sometimes* it will have a few dots in the top 2 inches of the screen in colors of blue, red, yellow, and green. I have the following setup:

1.333GHz T-Bird
256mb PC2100DDR ram (cruicial)
Iwill KA-266 MoBo
Leadtek Winfast GF2 PRO (64mb DDR version)
It has integrated audio..C-media something.

I have tried disabling the onboard audio, and running without sound, but it freezes, ive tried a second video card (maxi-gamer cougar 32mb PCI) and it still freezes. I was thinking of ordering the EPoX EP-8HAL Motherboard specshere

My 2 questions are:
1) Should this motherboard work for my configuration
2) If this doenst fix it...what would you reccomend? I was thinking a new 256mb RAM stick from crucial, to see if maybe my RAM was flaky.

thanks for any help you can give...
