I have an ATI 9200 video card and installed an Intel Pro 100B NIC in
the right next PCI slot. In a day or so, the nic no longer worked
under Solaris 10 x86 although it is still happily performing its job
under Linux and Windows. During the booting time, Solaris lists a
bunch of error messages about the nic.
Therefore, it appears that a minor chip could have been damaged by the
heat generated by the video card although I have a very good
ventilation system installed in my box.
Has anyone experienced similar incidents?
