    As an update, I stumbled... on sort of a fix. After being frustrated with the lockups, I was going to pilfer some parts from the new machine and put them into the old, namely the RAM. I took 2 of my 512meg sticks out. As it turns out, I had taken out the network card on the old machine, and...

    This is my second system from them. The first was well made, and hasn't had any large problems for a year and a half. It's also been in a rough environment, dusty, being bumped, loud power machinery being used nearby. Which I think has caused the minor issues it has had. But there are quite a...

    It does not seem have an extra power connector. There is a power connector on the board which seems to power the fan, however it starts inside the fan, and is plugged into the video card. It has 2 wires, red/black, and it seems to be one of the small power connectors. I don't know the proper...

    All of this has been under Windows 2000 Profesisonal SP4. The only thing that's running that I don't recognize is all related to the nVidia firewall on the motherboard. It apparently fires up an apache instance and uses that to allow me to manage firewall things. I have a firewall on the...

    So I ran 3dMark05 all day long, looped 70 times, and didn't get any lockups. So was feeling good about it, and started up World of Warcraft. I wasn't actively playing, just had it sitting, as that was usually a good way to get it to lockup. According to the plan, after an hour and a half, got...

    I will try it out, thank you kindly. It will probably be a few hours until I can accomplish that after work, so I will update when I've tested it out with SP2. Thanks!

    Thanks for response! About XP, I only went to SP1, thought that would be more straightforward to get things working and tested. That could be my next step, I should have stated that I ran all of those tests on Win2k. WindowsXP locked up right after I installed the nVidia version of the...
