voodoo 3 card flickers in dos and win98

[damginc]

I have a Voodoo3 PCI video card that worked fine in my old system, AMD K6-2 333Mhz win98 SE. Now I bought a new system, AMD T-bird 850Mhz win 98 SE. When I start the system it runs fine for about 30 minutes. Then it starts to flicker. It seems to flicker when a program is loading. It flickers and slows the computer even when rebooting after warming up. When I check the system monitor, it show the CPU at 107 F, and case tem around 80F. The video card on the other hand is VERY hot to the touch. I need to know if this sounds like the video card, or a conflict.

System Specs:
Athalon T-Bird 850 Mhz 100 FSB Slot A
Gigabyte Board 7IXE Slot A ATA/66
Seagate 20 Ultra ATA/100 7200 RPM
Soundblaster PCI 128 sound
256 MB PC100 RAM
Kingston PCI NIC
Samsung 8x DVD-ROM
Creative 12x10x32 CDRW Drive

Thanx in advance!!

Sounds like heat, rig a fan above the card or leave the case cover off and have a fan blow directly into the case to verify.
