Hi, long time read first time poster...god I hate saying that =)
I've been looking through a lot of the posts to see if this has been mentionede before but couldnt find anything, so if it has please kick me squar and point me in the right direction
Basically i've had a Leadtek 6800GT (AGP) I believe it's a Winfast A400 SG HDT (or something, im at work atm) since around the end of 2004 - 2005 and the other day it died on me.
I've been having a lot of problems with my PC crashing since christmas and have had an engineer out to replace parts 4 times (thank god I was too lazy to build it myself), they've replaced the PSU, mobo, CPU, fan and heatsink so far. The graphics card isnt the one that came with it so obviously they won't replace that
Anyways so I come home from work after leaving the comp on downloading I reboot it and load up WoW, then about 10 minutes later my comp just shuts down. I turn on the power and get beeping noises that sound rather like a siren.
I thought it might have been the PSU they put in because they skimped and put a bloody 250W PSU in there (it'd been running on that for about a month or two) I replaced that with the best one I could find laying around which was still only 320W and tried again, no dice. Got the same thing.
So I took out the 6800 and put in the card that came with the comp, a 5600, and it works fine. So im guessing my graphics cards died?
My system is basically this link below but with a Foxconn motherboard and 1gb of ram.

I ran my card at stock speeds.
