anybody have this problem?

[blackinches]

has anybody's motherboard just spontaneously crapped out? after i formatted it seems to not want to play games. it's an iwill kk266pro and tested out all the other parts and it seems to be the motherboard. which is odd cause before i formatted it worked fine. oh and the games seem to only crash with nvidia cards, cause i tried out a radeon 9700 pro and it worked fine. unfortunately i don't have to money to buy a new vid card, so i'm stuck trying to fix it.

you say the Radeon 9700 Pro works and plays games fine..no

spontaneously crapped out

..well as that card has a dedicated power feed ..it is possible your AGP slot is weak on the juice (old and fading ..possibly )...

never thought of that. ahh well if thats the case i suppose the cheapest way to fix this is get a k7s5a.
