My ATI card seems messed up. When I plug it into my system and plug everything in, it will run for a couple of minutes and then freeze, requiring a restart. When I unplug it and use the onboard video, everything works fine. First, any solutions to this problem? Everything is plugged in, updated drivers, and the fan works.

If it it isn't fixable, what card should I replace it with? I DO NOT need the newest/best card and the only game I really play is WOW, which runs pretty well with the onboard graphics.

Your recommendations would be most welcomed, thank you!

ati 4850 or nvidia 9800 gt are decent and should sell for little more than 100$.

Is that the AGP or PCI-e X850? If it's PCI-e you have a wide variety of cards to choose from, but if that's AGP you're a bit more limited.

It's the PCI-E version.
