Yes, installing XP is an option. I can also stick my own card in to see if it's something in the motherboard (although my card is nowhere near as powerful so it's not a direct swap).

Lots of ideas to work on when I get home this evening, then. Again, thank you to everyone who's come up with suggestions.

Okay, so my PSU says each +12V rail is rated up to 16 Amps. That should be enough, I think?

I disconnected the secondary case fan and the DVD drive to see if that made any difference - none.

I've just stuck my 256Mb X800 in there and it's working fine - Aero assessment tool was spot on, it gave it 4.9...

It's surely pointing to either an nVidia conflict with my motherboard, a driver issue or a physical fault on the graphics card, isn't it?
