I just bought a second hand 7800 and installed in my G4 Dual 800. Works fine to begin with but eventually the system "locks up".
Had to power off and on the reboot - got a lot of skewed random pixels on the screen. I leave it sit for quite some time - boot it back up and everything is great for a while but later locked up again. I put my old (stock) card back in and it runs and runs. Is it possible that these systems don't have adequate ventilation for this hotter card? I did have the aux power connection connected. I don't want to disable one of my CPUs to use this card, kind of defeats the purpose. Any suggestions?
