Quick specs:
P4 3.0 ghz
Intel 865GLC
1GB Ram
WinXP Pro
Enlight 420W PS
I had an ATI 9800 pro 256MB and the bearings on the fan siezed up. the card is no longer good.
I bought an ATI 9800XT 256MB to replace it.
I installed the XT (hooked up all cables, seated correctly) and I boot the computer.
the first boot, it just shuts off after checking both CD drives.
If I turn it on again, I get the overheat siren, and it stops booting. I'll get this until I pull the card and start the computer without it.
The computer boots fine without the card, runs at a constant 81 degrees F.
The Mobo on-board graphics function for now, but I'd really like to get back to playing games.
