Ok, I have a socket 7 heat sink and fan on my TNT2 m64 32mb pci card. Plus I put ramsinks AND some sinks on certain little chips that get extremely hot. Hell I even have a sink on the backside of the card in the central section of the heat source.. (away from contacts and solder points of course) AND I have my case off, with a personal fan blowing inside of it. But still the card overheats and the system reboots.

Now I'm debating on wether or not to get a new geforce mx400 pci card... or just building a new system with an actual agp slot. Mobos and cpus are friggen cheap right now... blah.. :(

Yes, time for new everything, if you've got the dough. Save that RAM and sell the rest is my advice.
