How do you find Voltage of Graphics card?

I am having problems when trying to encode video, mainly PC freezes at some part (not always same part).

Its a new board in PC (Asrock K7VT6) manual says "Do not use a 3.3v card as it may cause permanent damage"

The card is a "Pixelview Geforce4 Ti4200-8x" I've looked in manual also searched on web, unless I missed it, but I cant find the Voltage.

I recently have done a major upgrade and since I have not been able to encode anything. I am trying to eliminate things one by one. Never had a problem with card in my old set-up and I was wanting to know if this could be the problem?...

Thanks in advance.

do a google search on "determine video card voltage"

I am at work and since most of the answers are at gaming sites they are filtered and I can not get to them.

In a nutshell though you can tell by looking at the shape and number of connectors the card has.

Look here:

But there are no AGP 8x cards with 3.3V, so you're fine. Otherwise you'd already have fried the board. Actually due to the different separator positions I don't think it's possible to install the wrong card.
