I have an X1900CF (picked it up for £20 broken), the fault is with one of the chokes (line of them, black cubes, next to the long red strip cooler).
One has a corner missing and shows signs of heat damage. The card works until you try to pay a game, so the symptom fits.
It's a "Pulse PA0511 101 NLT", an SMT 120nH power inductor with a max current of 31A.
I'm struggling to fine a small quantity (no more than minimum order of 50) to ship to the UK, anyone in the industry know where to get em?
Edit: Rather ironically, the X1900XT I've had for the past year (which I shall be pairing with this new card), has had one of its chokes replaced in the factory, you can see where one of them is soldered by hand.
