Donna -

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss possible heat problems.  The 9800's
run toasty-hot.  The stock heatsink/fan on the cards is barely able to
keep up.  If you get even a small amount of dust clogging up the heat
sink, it can easily overheat and cause reboots.  I ended up going to an
after-market solution for the video card fan/heatsink on my 9800.
