Remove the other cards, and turn off both system ROM shadow, and video ROM shadow.

If you are good with a soldering iron the capacitors can be replaced. Make sure you can wick the excess solder out of the holes. Replace only with Japanese capacitors, and increase the airflow in the case and around the capacitor. This is usually a sign of overheating.
