Noozer:
You mean the 4 pin molex connector, right? Yeah, it's plugged in. That's the
same one Dream Maker is talking about. I tried using the splitter that came
with the card and on a line by itself, straight off the PSU.

I do normally run the system OC'd, 1 GHz AXIA OC'd to 1.4. I THINK I tried
clearing the BIOS on one of my attempts, which would have unOC'd it....
Can't remember for sure. Just got in from the titty bar, kinda drunk.
I'll try it tomorrow.
Thanks guys.
I'm drunk, broke, my girlfriend's passed out, and my bike is filthy.
I'm going to bed....
