I noticed a problem suddenly that after finishing Ghost Recon, my computer went black. The sound was there, but no picture.
Ok, after opening up my computer and taking out the Rage 128, I realized something smelled pretty bad. Not knowing where the smell came from, I shrugged and pulled out the Card. After examining it, i realized the heatsink was a bit slanted. As I touched it, it moved. Next, I checked the heatsink from the side and all I saw was some yucky gooey thing which I think was the thermal grease. Does anybody know how to remove this nonsense?

Well the best way is to use some alcohol to remove it,but alot of things work like brake cleaner, paint thinner etc etc. just make sure you get it off any conducters or resistors if it got on those. Then just wait till your Leadtek cards arrives.

Yeah..I know. I was comparing how 9 frames per second would compare to 231 frames per second. Figures! Damn I feel lucky to live alone.
