if you open up your case your power supply should have a label on it that tells how much power it can put out in watts.
What seems to be the problem?

a) the p4d gets insanely hot and draws huge amounts of power- it has huge problems hence the "pentium" architechture being scrapped, and intel moving to the "core" architechture . My guess is overheating or browning out.

b) a 64mb card really sucks. Its probably nit even 64mb, its probably like 2 and steals the rest from sytem ram
