Well, Little update. I have followed all the suggestions from the people on the list, and it appears to me to be an OS bug. I have tried re-seating the cards, I have tried 4 sets of the same type of card. I have changed the motherboard, the ram, the processor, the fans, hell even the power supply, and the HD. This has not helped. My next move will be to move back down to 3.4 or so, where I know they worked. It would be benificial to perhaps hear from someone who works for BSD on this one. Regards, Dale.
