Thanks, for all the consolations - all my fans are working even on the card itself, upped the agp voltage by .1 to 1.6 via bios, turned off fast write and agp 8X, reinstalled the stock catalyst 6.1 drivers, turned off vpu recover, all that I've got left to do is swap power supplies sometime this week. The kicker is the 9800 is only about 1 and half years old, I just finished COD2 with no problems, now its acting up - sheesh.
FWIW - my Matrox Mill 2 is running pretty much 24/7 in my home server in the basement - I used to have that thing paired up with a vodoo2 in what '98?
