[plug] 3d problem

[Ben Jensz]

How hot does your Duron run?

I also had an issue with my T-Bird 1.2Ghz box at first, it would lock up
and the core voltage seemed to be too low, so I replaced the power
supply with a 300 watt one and its fine now.  It might depend how much
stuff you've got in your case that'd be dragging power as well.. I dunno
what the Durons are like as I've never used one or had one, I've just
got an Athlon T-Bird 1.2Ghz and an Athlon XP 1600+ (1.4Ghz).

Could you get a hold of another 3D capable graphics card to test on it?
Something other than a GF2 MX?

Ben,
it has always done this, it did it when I had a 32mb MX 400 and it still

does it after I have upgraded to a 64mb one.
I have noticed that most MX400s get pretty hot, I think mine was running
at 43deg, with the case open
