i'll try this once i get home, i looked at my video cards manual and there is no mention of a jumper to switch voltages, i may try to set the bios to only look for 8X video card speed and i'll try that and see how that works, the only other thing that i saw that might affect the problem somehow is according to the manual i'm supposed to connect the power to the hard drive, and i think its hooked into a fan as well.... this may not do anything but its worth a shot!
