Do you have a spare/second computer that you can set up remote access or VNC with?

If the displays go down on the Mac you can remote into it to see if the box is really sleeping or if the card shut off.

I have a couple of spare cards, if one works in your box I'll send out to you to test with.

Gimme a bit to look into it.

I do (have a spare Mac I can use for this purpose). Can you explain how I perform the remote control?

I pulled half of the RAM (Two 1Gb DDR2 SDRAM) before. Will replace the installed set with these and retest.

Thanks for the Apple hand-holding.
