Re: [H] Spontaneous Reboots because of my graphics card?
Thanks, for all the consolations - all my fans are working even on the card itself, upped the agp voltage by .1 to 1.6 via bios, turned off fast write and agp 8X, reinstalled the stock catalyst 6.1 drivers, turned off vpu recover, all that I've got left to do is swap power supplies sometime this week. The kicker is the 9800 is only about 1 and half years old, I just finished COD2 with no problems, now its acting up - sheesh. FWIW - my Matrox Mill 2 is running pretty much 24/7 in my home server in the basement - I used to have that thing paired up with a vodoo2 in what '98?

Re: [H] Spontaneous Reboots because of my graphics card?
Unfortunately the card is totally dead as in no video period. It just stopped working during some overclocking experiments. I'm currently watching some FX5200's on eBay and will buy one soon (MythTV experiment) and that should tell me the mobo is fine. I've temporarily installed a PCI Radeon 9200SE and everything seems fine otherwise. I've boosted the voltage on the card before and it still crashed and it did the same in my MSI board as well. My bad, I should have RMA'd it from the beginning. FYI, I was just kidding about ATI sucking and look forward to reading the reviews on their latest: "supposedly the Radeon X1900 XTX will be clocked at 650MHz core / 1.5GHz memory and have 48 pixel pipelines".

Sometimes increasing the AGP voltage a notch for stability is called for. My 9800pro is currently dead in mailer here, still awaiting me to ship it back to CW, sooner than later I'll get around to it.

Re: [H] Spontaneous Reboots because of my graphics card?
Sorry, you've been bitten by the Radeon bug which is a biological invader from another world characterized by its voracious desire to screw up your computing experience in preparation for world domination. I really hate to be the one to inform you of this bug but it also bit me in the form of a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT AGP 8X which did the same from day one on two separate mobo's. I thought I had solved the problem by reducing the AGP bus speed from 66 to 50 MHz but it finally breathed it's last breath last week (it died after extensive fragging by a local LANParty group dedicated to saving the Earth). My best advise is to repeat after me: Radeon sucks! Radeon sucks! and eventually this mantra will enable you to make peace with your life and enable you to let go of all the goals you ever hoped to accomplish. Or you could just RMA it.

Is the fan on the AIW, and or CPU working OK? If so I would suspect PS before the AIW.
