After all that, new lead etc etc etc... i took a power feed for the gpu from optical drive supply rather than hdd and all seems to be ok... Thanks so much for your opinions wonder or i probably would have replace everything without thinking about power issues. Fingers crossed its long term solution. :):mrgreen::)

DOH! :redface:

I personally have never owned an AGP card that needed extra power....

So I forgot and thought/assumed you meant PCI-E!

(most powerful AGP card I had was a ati 9600 PRO)

well I will certainly add that to my knowledge base.

with the advent of PCI-E I think we tend to forget about the way some older tech is connected.
