You would be better off getting a Toaster 4000 card. Many of them on ebay for less then $100.

In Monitors and other circuitry its usualy caused by poor soldering Better known as a "Cold Solder" if done incorectly the heating and cooling of the circuit will eventualy cause it to lift slightly off the pad that it was atached to. If enough dust or just simply heat builds up at this spot the plastic circuit board will just erupt into flames.

I have had my Toaster Flyer system since 1995 and it still works just like new :-D NewTek knows how to build a great solid product :-)
