Graphics problem

[song]

If it's an AGP slot type graphics card it can have an automatic or manual setting of 4x 8x etc.

These different multipliers use different voltages. Some boards (Soyo for example) only support one voltage setting.

If its an ATI card with Catalyst drivers, open the catalyst panel and change the AGP settings to 4x if its set higher and you think this is problem.

You can sometimes change in bios as well or with whatever utility your card came with.

If you keep running it on the wrong voltage (thats what it sounds like) then you can fry your graphics ship and even pop your whole motherboard.

Sometimes the "automatic" configuration settings set it to high--not realizing your mother board type doesn't support it.

Other alternative is you have a loose (not fully seated) power connector, a failing power supply or a bad card).
