Thanks for that.
No I am not overclocking, and I have done the memtest,
checked the seating, kept my AGP multiplier low, and done
everything else I can think of. I bought the passively
cooled version of the card because I do like as quiet a
system a possible and the smp was already running two cpu
fans. Apart from some defect in the chips, my theory has
always been that the card is maybe running too hot under
heavy load.
