reply to jDyno Well its good it didnt fry your mobo. i think the card could have been really messed up. you could put the new card back in, but that would mess it up again, so thats bad. it defiantly seems to be a card firmware issue (which we cant solve), or the heatsync aint working right. either way send it back. -- The Original King of the Beige G3 The Air-Coolin', HD Spinnin' CD Burnin' G3 0wnz.
