Now could be a good time to change your motherboard and graphics card. You should be able to swap your other bits and peices (ckeck first though)

I have an ATI Radeon 9800 pro that you can borrow for free until you get sorted.
It works fine & is my emergency backup

My emergency backup is an old Radeon VE!
And if that breaks I can plug in my old S3 Virge & Voodoo 2

Thanks for the offer Rick but it should be ok.
I've been told it won't be long until it comes back from repair, I sent it back to dabs who have sent it back to ATI.
That was about a month ago and they said 4-6 weeks.

Thats the first time Ive heard of sending something off for repair. Normally they will send you out a new one once they have got the old one and confirmed the fault.
