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?

Pay attention to the taping of pins 3 & 11.
