Get a nice new 6600GT from someone like leadtek. Mine cost me $AUD260 (not sure of the conversion for NZL sorry). But it runs UT very very nicely...not too mention any other game I throw at it. =)

well i would not be putting anymore vid cards into that box.. anytime soon.. lol

Sounds like you may have apower supply issue or a Motherbaord power distribution issue...

Either way I would first, cahnge the POWER SUPPLY then try a new card... NOT try the new card first on the existing power supply.

What vidio card is it?
and is it agp or pci-e?

agp's r getting hard to get, now :(
yer it was & is AGP, R@ge

i did get it going again, and mickeyed the PS somewhat
but it aint gonna last long

BAH, if i did not have this LAN to look forward to i wud be rather pissed off
maybe i shudda spent the money on a new comp? but i tend to stretch each comp to its limit & this motherboard can take one more sizeable upgrade
