Here's the deal. My dads computer started artifacting when turned on cold. Green dots, stripes, blackouts the works. If you reboot the computer everythning works out just fine, no glitches. Worked on the same setup for years.
Specs:
Epox EP-8K5A2
Athlon XP 1800+ "Palomino"
Radeon 9600 Pro
738MB DDR 333
Codegen 350W Psu
The gpu fan is running normally on both occasions and everything seems to be ok otherwise.
I checked HWMonitor and what struck me as odd is the 3.3V:
Could it be the PSU? I don't have a spare one to try at the moment.
I'm planning on getting a replacement GPU for him as cheap as possible, have my eye on a x850 Pro.
Advice is appreciated.
