That seems perverse in the extreme.
And makes that board ill-suited for the taks at hand (headless server).
I don't know the situation where you are, but my inclination at this
point would be to "cut my losses" and stop trying to make it work for
that function. And acquire a different system (or system board) for the
function.

Well.. I didn't thought about this box as a top priority server so as You
say I'll propablly leave it as is.. but it's a shame that a good and
"healthy"
box will stay in the corner and collect dust :P
I'm wondering only if it's posiblle that it's the power supply fault
(it's an AT Power Supply)..
thanks,
My next line of inquiry would probably be the video card
itself. There seem to be few references to this sort of
problem out there; but the two I've seen that matched your
description most closely (and they weren't THAT close, but
we seem to be dealing with a relatively rare issue <?>) were
both nVidia cards...
So, if I had another old card to stick in there, I might try
that first . . .
HTH,
