    While I have the attention of the esteemed BlackAxe and others.



    I just threw my new bits together and for some reason I'm getting nothing from the graphics card (the antiquated 9600XT from my old system). I'm getting no signal. Every time I power up, the GPU fan works for about 10 seconds then stops
    I have put the card back in my old system and it's working fine. Any suggestions?

    What system did you put the 9600XT into?

    ECS KV2 Lite, San Diego 3700+, 1 Gb crucial PC3200. I sorted my problem out BlackAxe, the 4 pin power connector wasn't seated properly Reseated it and it was fine. Until... I reformatted and installed XP Home but the PC now will only run for a minute or two before it bums out. It just dies like I hit the reset button, but it doesn't boot up again. It just hangs like it's waiting for the POST mostly. But it's other favourite is to just hang with lines on the screen.
    I checked the Processor temp, it's fine at 32C ( Ihaven't set a cut out temp anyway). So I'm stumped, annoyed, disappointed and lots of other words that end in -ed.
    I'm thinking PSU or motherboard, but I'd appreciate any help.

    Maybe there is some problem with other thing?Maybe the alimentation of the computer is wrong or something like that

    After much more messing around, it seems that the system is stable while doing certain things, but not others. It was OK for an hour formatting and installing XP, but not doing most other things. Interestingly it was happy to install and play M2TW until I went to a battle, it's got to be software I guess.
    I suppose I'll just reformat and reinstall again, you never know...

    I've heard lots of talk about a Mac running Windows, and being able to play games that way, while keeping the Mac OS. Is there any way I can build a decent gaming Mac?
