Hello all, I just bought this setup:

Asus A7N8X-X Mobo
Corsair 512 mb PC2700
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro
AMD Athlon 2500+ XP
All for 450$...

I had all the other parts, HD CD-ROM etc...

So I built and booted, it work, but the OS on (XP) and installed some updates and drive etc...

I ran 3d Mark 2001 once and it ran fine, got like a 10,700 or something, then noticed that my CPU was set to 1.4 Ghz, so I set it to 1.8, like it's supposed to be. I reboot, it runs great, and I had a friend over and I wanted to show him the benchmark (he didn't know what it was) so I ran it, and right in the middle, it just turned off. It wouldn't turn back on. I checked everything, all was fine, it just wouldn't boot. When I have the power connect and switched on, the Mobos little green light turns on, but my power switch just won't work. I've tried other power switches, and that doesn't work. I just bought a new Antec psu, it should be coming in the mail from zipzoomfly shortly. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will. I've heard a couple of people complain about the 9700 Pro + Asus Mobo lockup problems, is this my problem? Any help would be great,

Oh and I was looking for the specs on my card, meaning the core speed and the gpu, I'm having a hard time. Anywho would have it been better to get a 9600 xt or a 9800 pro?

Thanks
