Any 6xxx series GeForce card. Do you have another computer where you can plug the card in? Like a friends or family members computer. If it works on theirs, then its your mobo, if it doesnt, its your video card.
My computer's not working.

There isn't another computer I can try it on.

Do you only have one AGP slot on your MOBO? I think you will find out that it was your card and not your mobo. I also think that the constant overheating that you were experiencing might have burned out your card.
Without another a computer to test it you have a few options. Take the card and the computer to a local computer shop and have them test it for you.
Buy a new card and hope that it is only the card.
Forget about this computer altogether and buy a new one.

It only has one AGP slot. When I go into device manager it says "the device is working properly", would that help?
Underneath the AGP slot I have an empty slot that I can't use because of the graphics card. If I remove the panel for it would it help with ventilation or should I just leave it?
I saw a GeForce 6200 for £30 (the cheapest non PCI-E I could find), so I could get that. I can't get a new computer at the moment because it's too expensive, and I think the price of the card is less than the price to take the computer to PC World for testing.

As far as I know, there is no mobo with two AGP slots available today, or ever was for major consumer distribution...And what card do you have right now? a X700? the 6200 will give you much worse performance I would think...

There aren't any local, small shops around? You don't have to go to a giant chain. Take a look through your local business directory and give 'em a call.

The next cheapest card is a Radeon X1550 at £50, but it might be too powerful for my computer, and it's too expensive at the moment.
There isn't any small local computer shops around where I live.
