[QUOTE="Audio.Trench, post: 336366, member: 13155"] Just an update to an old thread.. I finally got a replacement Rage 1280 Pro AGP (16mb) that I bought off eBay a couple weeks ago.. Excited as I was, I got it on my way to work, so I didn't have time to play with it till after I was done. Once I finally got home, the first thing I did was put the new card in to replace the old one. Having high-hopes, I turned it on with just the 20gb Maxtor system drive. "bahhh" Goes my Mac, and everything sounds and seems normal.. The light on my monitor goes blue (when a valid source is connected), then changes back to orange.. I almost screamed! Even with a new video card, I'm having the same problems.. I don't know what to do with this thing anymore.. I know the ram works, because I did MemTest86+ on an old windows PIII machine, and looped the tests for 24 hours with no errores.. The only things I can think of now, are the logic board (which I'm seriously hoping it's not..), or the power supply. So my next step is to mod a standard ATX power supply to use on this thing. One reason I don't think it's this, is because it powers on normally, and I've never known a computer to turn on with a fried psu. I'll post more results tomorrow when I tinker with it some more.
