You should be able to either set the IRQ and addresses manually (refer to user hand guide) or if you go to the Nvidia website you will be able to download the drivers required for your graphics card.

That way you could uninstall the card completely (drivers, IRQ's and everything reset) and reinstall the graphics card that way. That should fix the problem.

At this point there are really two things to look at:
PS is bad or going bad
Video card is overheating OR going bad.

The easiest way to find this out id NOT to disable the card, but sub in another card if you have one, even an old one will let you know if the PS or the VC is the problem. One thing though, do you have the ability to change these things out? if not how about a friend? It's easy enough, but CAN be problematic when dealing with the drivers associated with it.

Same with the PS, if you have an old one switch it (make sure the voltage etc are the same) When your dealing with hardware it gets tough to dx things with out extra parts. Let us know what you have available...

Well I would be able to put the parts in myself but I dont have any lol. The guy is coming to my house on friday with a brand new Radeon 9800 XL (same as I have now) so hopefully that will fix this problem. I have had a new PS recently like I mentioned earlier so I think it must be the graphics card. You dont think its the processor then? If putting the new graphics card in doesnt work then what could it be? Thanks for the help.

Most of the time when a Proc goes the whole sebangs goes and it will not start up. Since you have so much cooling I would have to say it's not the processer. That's where switching the cheapest part comes in (VC cheaper then Proc) Let us know how it turns out.

Oh ok, I dont have loads of cooling....just the PS fan, processor fan (its quite large) and the fan on my gfx card. Is 44 degrees C normal for my motherboard (playing a game)...idle its 38-39... my disk drive is 45C (playing a game) and is usually 41 idle, are these temperatures normal?

The temps sound fine, usually less than 50C is the threshold. Changing out the VC will give us the next clue.

That might be the case that is at 93....I have 2 different programs. One says motherboard one says case.

How are you detecting the temps?
Program or LCD on your tower?

Sorry I missed that. I belive you still have a heat issue which of course is easy to show with a temp range from 7C to 40 or 50C!!! From the above it looks like everything is "OK" with the IRQ's and memory addressing. Lets wait until Friday and see what the new VC shows. I'll be standing by!!

Just yank the card out or disable it and let the pc run for a few hours to see if it is your card.

Easier than waiting for a new card and/or replacing it to test.

You said it only happened after the pc being on for a few hours, so leave it to download some music or something without the card enabled/connected and see what happens.
