Hi Connor,=0A=0AThe boot line parameters and manually reinserting the card =
didn't do the trick. If you have the time, could you let me know the BIOS s=
ettings you use (IRQ + initial video card for display)? Who knows, perhaps =
that fixes it...=0A=0AThanks!=0A=0AL=0A=0A--- On Tue, 3/2/10, Lara Michaels=
