Broken GFX

[Jim]

The fan on my 8600GT died and all the caps have popped R.I.P.

After a spelunk in the cupboard I've plugged in an old PCI FX5200.  Wow this thing is soooo old!  It has NO FAN!  And there are glitches all over the screen but Windows 7 is still trying to do Aero!

And now blank outs lasting a couple of seconds while it goes off for a think!

The smell of burning grease and dust from 6 years in the cupboard is exquisite too

Don't panic, I've ordered a GTS 450 which should be here by the end of the week   Please hold out for 3 more days mr FX5200!
