Just check the temps on the dual video card and its running 240f on the heat sink area, while everything else in the inside of the computer is a cool 100 degrees or so. Am guessing that the video card is tits up... and overheating, which is causing everything else in the case to get warm.

Thx,

You know the new Ati 5series cards can run up to 6 monitors in any sort of configuration.



fancy stuff

Well, got a new NVida card and of course its not shaking hands with the computer. Evidently its taking the same address that the existing NVida card is and I get one or the other, but not both.

Settled on using the new one for now so I can run two screens.

Anyone got any ideas on how to get the old card to work on different addresses?

Hey Dave.... you on the forum?

Still cannot get the second card to shake hands with the system... seems that the two cards want to share the same address...
