@Huck, let me know if the above is the same for you, out of interest. I have to go, it's TIME FOR CHESS!

It was a 6800 - I have since given up on the graphics card arms race and settled for an xBox.

Well, my PC just cut out playing Command and conquer 3, soi i guess we can take "pushing the cards" out of the equation 😛


What's the chances that it's a dodgy power pack ?
