You may want to plug the CMOS battery out and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
(remember to unplug the power first)
Make sure to remove the 6600 first, then re-install the battery.
Plug the power cord back in, power it up and it should go into the BIOS.
Set the Video to the onboard...
Max temp on the 3800+ X2 is 71C, so you have room to spare.
Many other things affect temps.
What are your CASE temps at idle & full?
Do you have adequate airflow through the case?
Motherboards usually require more than 1 standoff to attach to a PC case.
If you are using none then I would say your odds are HIGHLY against you
not frying the board out.
If you are missing just 1 or 2 then it would depend on the mount locations
themselves and how much the board flexes...
What OS (XP or flavor of Vista)?

You may want to check those out before proceeding.
It is a known problem with that keyboard.
They go bad all the time.
If it is still in warranty, they will replace it.
If not, you can always try getting them to do it anyway.
Microsoft TechNet has a GUI frontend for Robocopy if you don't want to
bother using the Command Line.

You can also type 'Robocopy /???' for a list of all command line switches.
I have had good luck with the Omega Drivers with WinXP SP2 and same card.
Omega Win2k/XP driver
Vista not supported as of yet.
The ATI WDM did not work for me either (7.08-7.10)
Hope AMD gets their act together soon....
A couple of questions first.
1. Do you have Windows Updates (auto) enabled?
2. Have you updated any drivers as of late?
3. What BIOS version are you using?
