it's odd... i was playing FFXI not 15-20 before this happened too...

PNY's nVidia GeForce FX 5200 PCI 128MB DDR is the card. all i did was turn the computer off to clean the dust out/off of it, plugged everything back in right how it was, and nothing.

the monitor light turns orange like it's not getting enough power, but i removed the card and now it works fine... only problem is i can't play FFXI now ; ;

i tried calling PNY, but they're closed until monday... so any help here would be great ^^

posting before reading is bad >.<

a few posts down, it says something about overheating. due to the placement of where my graphics card is and my 56k modem is, i can't see the fan.

although, i tried the "touch test" one time w/o knowing about overheating, but it was rather warm...

i suppose i could take the modem out and check.... hmmm...
