Ummm... > Please share your ideas on how this could be analyzed further! I guess I'll have to reply to myself. After many attempts to make it work, I still tend to think my 8600GT is just not compatible with MSI motherboard I have when working under Fedora. The problem only appears when the card is installed to an MSI motherboard _and_ only when running Fedora in graphical mode. Any other cases like installing my video adapter to another motherboard or putting a new video to MSI motherboard and running Fedora on it - everything works flawlessly. Windows works just fine in 8600GT + MSI MB combo, too. But trying to run Fedora on this system just kills the machine within seconds / minutes after switching to graphical mode, no matter what video driver I use. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any more details on what is going wrong in this case. Anyway, I'm likely to buy a passively-cooled Zotac GT240 now and that would solve this issue. -- Best regards, Andrew -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
