My WAGuess would be that one of your memory DIMMs is defective and the fault resides at an address which is always occupied by the operating system. GaugePro and its ilk cannot …

G4 (sawtooth) graphic cards — #2

The only thing I now is that the AGP Swatooth has an AGP 2x slot, so newer cards will not fit to it. GeForce Ti's, and ATI Radeon 7000 should fit, as I read at least.

Yeah doesn't sound good, i agree that something must have shorted out, how did that screw get in there?
