I installed a shiny new nVidia 9600 GT today. Luckily I had a new PSU in the order. We try to keep a spare power supply at home, they seem to be the most likely part of a PC to fail. I had to fit the new PSU though, because the new card needed an extra power connection and my existing PSU didn’t have that type of connector on it. So really I need to get another PSU for our stock now.
So my PC is up and running again, working off my old laptop wasn’t too good. Although on the plus side I did install the latest version of Eclipse, that I didn’t know existed. Now I wonder how easy it’ll be to upgrade from 3.1 to Ganymede on my PC.

As the pictures show, my graphics card decided it was time to die. I was using it tonight, when suddenly the music stuttered and that nice random pattern appeared across the screen.

That's not quite right

I powered off the PC quick, but it was too late, the card is damaged. Grrrr. Scratch one nVidia 8600 GT.

Interesting random pattern!
