    LGA775 mobo died, time to upgrade?

    Recently my LGA775 mobo died, leaving me with a E6600 processor. Two options I see are to buy a new LGA775 mobo and continue on like nothing happen, or upgrade processor and mobo to take advantages of some of the prices now (wolfdales, phenom 2 x4 etc) I rarely overclock, and before the...

    8800gts and screen corruption, unstabe system.

    my friends computer is has same mobo and HDD as mine, but he is still using the 7950gt. according the powersupply, the PCI-E1 connection is by itself and provides 18amps.

    8800gts and screen corruption, unstabe system.

    i spoke with a rep @ evga and he told me 18a on the 12v rail powering a single 8800gts is fine. I tried the card in my friends computer (with my hdd and video card swapped over) today and it came up with the same problems. any other ideas?
