The only time I saw corruptions was in DOS boot disk's Norton Ghost 2003
(VGA mode?) after a few minutes of making a big image and seeing garbage
on my screen. That was when I discovered the video card's fan was not
moving and I couldn't turn it myself (stuck).

Any known issues with ATI Radeon 4870 (512 MB) video cards? I bought a
MSI R4870-T2D512 OC Radeon HD 4870 512 MB in December 2008. Haven't seen
any serious issues except ATI's buggy DVXA video driver (had to use
v8.10's ativva* files) to avoid blue screens with DVB Viewer Pro v4.
