I thought the screen is buggered, replaced it - no joy. Then I thought the video card is gone - replaced it. Has not yet found the same but will check. My question - can this be power supply or heat (i.e. fans buggered) causing the problems - other than the card? sarel By the way - does the Radeon 9600 Pro card have their own powersupply - I saw a little thingie open but it does not look like a power connection?	sarel (2490)
535753	2007-03-25 06:05:00	Is the computer still running when the screen goes off? Or does it shut itself off as well?	FoxyMX (5)

535756	2007-03-25 07:31:00	Let me rephrase the one answer above - because I can't see anything on the screen, I switch off the PC at the wall - that's why I get the "Restore to Desktop" screen sarel	sarel (2490)
535757	2007-03-26 02:31:00	Would seem as if the new card solved the problem, although I'n none the wiser why sarel	sarel (2490)
