    Your the troll. I KNOW where to put the grease. It was put there. It 
has no useful effect.

    My next trial was a new PCI-Ex video card which was $50.00 at Best 
Buy and it plugged in just fine and now I am using the highest video 
setting and zero problems. The heat sink on the card is 10 times larger 
than the one on the mother board.

    So I am happy with my old computer again. Nice small box and a big 
monitor.
