New ati card. Should i connect it on the first power cord plug or
itn's important

i ask this because i'm experiencing some reboot problem, all drivers
do that with the video card and all set up end the same way it crash
and it reboot or some time it freeze and the screen turn off by it
self.

On google it said that it might be the card that is over heating, That
could be true because in 3dgame i cant hear the fan speed going up,
only at the boot sequence and also the first card to be made were
known to do that

Also in everest home edition it
it's say that my card is a rev.00 5E4B agp 8x 1002

So i'm i true to think that it one of these card that over heat
easily? it a x700pro vivo agp build by ati.

check the system/cpu temperature in Everest - maybe your case need more air..

If you card requires its own power, try to use one of that lines that
isnt powering the hard drives or even optical drives if possible, try the
line powering your case fans.

It's POSSIBLE that your power supply unit is too underopowered to drive that
card and the rest of your computer's components and is overheating for that
reason. (Excessive current draw.) You didn't give many details of your
system.

In my system there is a a7n8x-x motherboard
a socket a xp2600 333 Barton core.
1 maxtor 80gigs 8mb cache
1 western digital 40gigs 2mb cache hd.
1 512mb of 333 Kingston.

1 Lg dvd combo drive the 4160b one.
1 lg 56x cd-rom drive.

Now my video card is plug on it's own power cord i will see this way
