Lockup after resuming from sleep/hibernation Dell Dimension 3000

[Goldfish64]

Hi,

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 running 32-bit Windows 7. It started locking up either going into sleep, waking up from sleep, or waking from hibernation. It goes away if I pull out the Geforce GT 610 PCI card that I have installed. Putting the card into another system works fine, and sleep works normally. I am wondering if the motherboard is at fault here as I have just had the graphics card replaced by ZOTAC.

Specs:
Dell Dimension 3000
2 GB RAM
3 GHz Intel Pentium 4 HT
80 GB IDE HDD
IDE CD-RW
IDE DVD-RW
Floppy
Intel 537 PCI Modem

I have unhooked and disabled the floppy and two optical drives, but the problems continue. I also tried to boot Ubuntu live, but it would not start, until the graphics card was pulled.

Windows has also been reinstalled.

Any ideas?
