Wow! That's a card beast. My best guess would be 2 smaller fans over the cards and the another on the opposite side toward the PSU a bit but still in the same enclosure as the cards. The two smaller fans would be blowing air down onto the cards and the other fan would need to be configured to...

The trick to air cooling your PC is to keep the air exchanged at as high a rate as possible without sounding like a jet taking off. Simple fan configuration would be one large one in the front pulling air in with another in the back to assist the PSU fan in pulling air out. Air flow will be...

Make sure you have the correct MB connections setup up for the buttons. This sounds like you have the reset switch wired incorrectly and the MB is in a constant reset mode. If those check out okay, I'd start looking at the BIOS configuration, then start troubleshooting hardware after that...

I'd try another PSU.

I'd still check out the buildings power on the plug you were using. If it's "dirty" it will eventually cause the same problems with your new PSU. The old one may have been damaged because of this. I'm just making an assumption based on the fact that the techs could run your PC without any...

I was just going to say that. You probably have "dirty" power. If the techs are unable to replicate your problems on the bench, then that sounds like your building power is somehow at fault. You can try testing another circuit that's running off of a different breaker or try another building...

You're at the mercy of the OEM that issued your BIOS. If you've recently upgraded your BIOS, you may have been subject to selection changes that the OEM felt you should no longer have access to. I've seen selections change and disappear from version to version.

Sounds like a heat problem to me as well. If blowing all your ports out with canned air does not help, you may need to do some disassembly and physically wiped down all your heat sink surfaces. Let us know how it works out.

The only thing I can think of at this point is that your power supply may be going out. I'd try a replacement. Let us know if this helps.

Sorry :) Go to your local computer store and ask for replacement cables for your SATA hard drive. You should get 2 per drive. One for power, the other for the signal. Most PC stores carry a molex power converter cable for SATA drives.

Had a bad CPU do this to me as well. Another option would be bad RAM.

I'd swap out the SATA cables, both power and signal.

You can get a 17" replacement now days for less than what you paid for the 15" 5 years ago. Sounds like the CRT is on it's last leg. Do yourself a favor and put it to rest.

After trying the SP2 update myself, I ran into similar problems. I then downloaded the full SP2 update and installed it manually. Now my updates work correctly. You might give this a shot.

make sure all the systems have the same "Workgroup" name.

Have you run SpyBot or AdAware? If I understand your problem, it sounds like some kinda of hijack. If things appear fine after checking this, you can probably do a manual removal of IE6, then reinstall. Good Luck.

I've also seen pins in the AGP slot become broken or bent that cause this problem. Get a magnifying glass and see if you can eliminate this possibility. (FYI: I've seen this happen on brand new M/Bs so don't rule it out without checking)

There's a good chance you may have bumped something. Reseat all your cables and cards. If that doesn't fix it, check each memory slot very carefully. There may be a pin that's been broken or bent. If things look good there, I'd try resetting the BIOS. Good luck.

If ski's suggestions don't solve the problem, you may try this. Put the old card back in and make sure your BIOS is set to "defaults". There may be a setting in there that your new card does not like. You may even try rolling back your BIOS version and seeing if one of the earlier versions is...
