I can get to the BIOS if I use the TNT2 card - all the others now barf at
the BIOS splash screen.

Incidentally, I tried to burn a DVD this weekend using NERO. All attempts
have failed - the burn succeeds but during the verify the box restarts.

I've used three different media - all with the same result.

Could it be my 512Mb RAM stick that's going bye bye?

Tried this but no joy. Box Ok with TNT2 card but 4200, 5200, 6600 all
fail.
I'd thought about the RAM but discounted it as the box runs fine with
the TNT2 card.

Is it a motherboard swap next, then?


The TnT2 card is running at AGP 1X2X-3.3v
The other cards run at either 1.5v or .9v, or 2X4X8X
The 4200 should run at 3.3v

Can you get a picture with the 4200 in long enough to get into BIOS? Since
that's the card you had in the first place, it should be working. Might be
the power regulator for the AGP bus is going south.
