AFAIK, these issues have only been occurring since I installed the 6600GT. But, I have to say, that was a year ago, and it wasn't like I started having problems as soon as I installed it (and anyway, it's been VERY sporadic, only occurring a few times, and this is by far the most 'un-easily-fixable' so far). What I mean to say is, no, I don't see any direct correlation between installing the 6600GT and then suddenly having problems. It didn't happen that way at all. I've been happily chugging along with the 6600GT for months prior to this. It could be related, but it seems like a stretch (not to say that I don't appreciate the suggestion, I do!)

I don't have any other AGP cards but I've got a PCI card that was also in there, an old Radeon 7500. I'll try that on its own. I was running a triple monitor setup that way for MS Flight Simulator 2004 - I've got things much more back to basics now as I said before, out of the case.

Thanks for the memory advice, I'll try that in a bit.

Regarding the warranty, yes it is 3 years, and I've only had the board about 2 1/4, so that's very good. However, on the Asus site it says to 'contact retailer' for motherboard returns, and on Newegg's site it won't let me get anywhere with the RMA because I'm outside of their 1 year warranty on the parts I ordered for my system in August '03. If I do have to return it, any suggestions on who to contact regarding that?

Thanks so much for your help.
