I have to admit, the idea of building a cheap-as-chips computer in a cardboard box appeals to me.  Although the idea of it (inevitably) catching fire...does not.

Considering the amount of heat even low end systems can make, I don't think that would take very long.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

The idea of it catching fire actually appeals to me. As long as it was somewhere outside, on some sort of nonflammable terrain.

I seem to remember a computer that was built in a Windows box. Actually, it was a dual-boot system with a Windows box and a Linux box, and it would boot to whatever OS it was in the box of.

Not quite. Look at the three posts above mine. Admittedly, my post is not related to the original topic, but it does follow the posts immediately preceding it.

did you check the contacts?

Back to the issue at hand, is the GeForce 4 one of the cards with an onboard fan?  If so, the bearings in those things have been known to go out once in a while so you may check that it's still working.

It's either a heat issue or something fundamentally wrong with an internal component like the onboard memory.  IC's are pretty robust though, so unless the product has a history of problems I'd almost have to go with overheating.  Normally the first thing I'd ask is are you overclocking, but I'm sure you know better than that if it's goofing up.  I'd seriously doubt that there's something wrong with any part of the card or mobo that's actually exposed.
who needs a signature? ;)

You'd really need some form of cardboard monitor for it to be worthwhile, though.

Otherwise it'd just be weird.
