GF FX5200 in DELL 4550 gives WinXP BSOD
You could be right as I already have an extra disk drive (for backup) and a
better sound card installed in my DELL 4550. I'll find out when I build the system that has a 300W PSU. I wouldn't have thought that a FX5200 would draw as much current as an old GeForce 2 Ultra 64MB (overclocked) with a substantial heatsink and fan on it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just an update. I did install it in the new PC and it worked perfectly (and
rather slowly). So it seems that it was a lack of power in my DELL 4550 which gave these problems. Jonathan "Jonathan Eales" wrote in message news:...
