Hehe..Thanks everyone! Originally, I had planned on just replacing the motherboard. Then after ordering the board, I noticed that it had an 8x only agp slot. My current card is 2x/4x. So I needed a new card. I saw a post on anandtech about mislabeled 9600pro's, so I rushed to bestbuy and snagged one. $130 for a 9600pro + free Halflife 2! Seeing as I now have a nice new mb and good video card I figured, "Hell, I should probably get a new/bigger powersupply" Then of course it became, "hmmm for $30 more I can get a new case as well" So now I have practically a brand new computer coming my way!

Because it sounds like it is the motherboard issue. In fact, he has the same problems I had when my mobo fried...

Besides, I remember all the help you gave me with my video issue awhile back (I should have listen to eternal instead of a bloody wanker across the sea)

He might want to get this issue resolved quickly
what?

its a bit hard helping people when you get no details off the silly n00bs

yes, it sounds like a motherboard problem, but thats because we have so little details so its "narrowed" down already :P

LOL nice

9600pros are nice cards

although i think the 2x/4x card would have worked fine in your board ops:

oooooooh dont listen, keep the 9600pro

There you are Prox! Was wondering where the hell you went. When do you get your new goodies?
