I doubt the problem is the video card because I tried several: nVidia and ATI, AGP and PCI. Nothing worked. I can't say for sure the memory is not over heating, but I doubt that's the problem. The motherboard is designed to keep working even if an entire DRAM chip fails. No ECC faults are being logged.
I ordered new parts this afternoon:
Athlon 3500+
Thermaltake A1836 cooler
MSI K8N NEO2 motherboard
Crucial BL6464Z402 PC3200 memory (2x512)
Adaptec 39160 SCSI controller
I still need to order a power supply.
