As I recall, all of the wires came out of one round hole, so it probably wouldn't be possible to do this without pulling the lid off of the power box to get to the source of the wires.
Thanks for the info on where to get the tool. If the problem wasn't solved by my re-seating the vide card, I'll be looking into the power supply as the next likely source and will need to buy one of these probes.

A big word of warning If you do NOT fully understand the inner workings of a Switched mode Power Supply the do NOT get the covers off with the mains connected Better still dont take the covers of at all , They are rather nasty little critter that have a bad ass bite even when switched of and unplugged the 2 main capacitors can hold one hell of a clout . I have a 25 amp Switcher PSU here i use for the HF transciever and that has no manners at all if i switch if off and pull the mains plug UK 13 amp plug the caps hold there charge for about 20 to 30 mins and it bites :-( first hand experiance of that also from comnputer PSU's you have been warned ..
