    ATi Radeon 9600XT (256MB, AGP 8X) - Blue Pixels and Corruption

    The title basically says it all. The card displays randomly placed blue pixels on the screen (especially when rendering 3D stuff), the right edge of the screen is garbled in VGA mode, and it sometimes fails to re-initialize on a reboot or when trying to wake up the display. Bad VRAM? Dud GPU?
    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

    Permanently Retired Systems:
    RIP Advantech UNO-3072LA (2008-2021) - Decommissioned and taken out of service permanently due to lack of software support for it. Not very likely to ever be recommissioned again.
    Asus Q550LF (Old main laptop, 2014-2022) - Decommissioned and stripped due to a myriad of problems, the main battery bloating being the final nail in the coffin.
