No - the warning is just for the 12v power connection to the card. However, the fan is easy to replace or lubricate if any problems arise and usually gives an early warning by becoming noisy.

Help - what does this mean?
Greetings all, I little help in discerning a splash page on boot-up I've not seen before. I gave my daughter an upgraded G4 Quicksilver (1.5GHz single CPU, running leopard). It has an ATI Radeon card in it, a rather nice one iirc, 9500, w/ 256Mb RAM. She sent me a cell phone photo of a picture she now gets on boot-up, a little picture of the ATI card (w/ the ATI logo to its right) with the Mac not proceeding with the boot-up process. This is the initial page one sees at startup, so I suspect something nefarious with the card. Any one ever get this, and if so, what does it mean?

Thank you, Dana Hi, I have seen a similar splash screen, but when a Radeon 9800 was fitted, and its direct power lead (to the 9800, that is) wasn't connected. i can only surmise that the Mac/Card combination was unhappy about something, and the CUDA reset has sorted it.

Yeah, this makes sense, the power lead is red, indicating a problem. That's pretty cool that the ATI card can override the boot and stop it until its power is correctly configured. I've got a 9800 but I've never seen this boot screen. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I've got a 9800 but I've never seen this boot screen. Yes to both Kris and Ted's response - with the help of some more description from my daughter we traced it to a Molex extender cable that had faulted and was over-heating. Card is fine, additional Molex cable is history. Splash screen is kind of cool, but a little unnerving if its the first time you see it and knew not to expect such a possibility. Oh, and the card is indeed a 9800, not the 9500 I first posted.
