I had checked the BIOS settings and hadn't seen anything that would help but I didn't consider a BIOS upgrade, so I'll check this. > I know you said you tested it on > another PC, but did you test it on another server of the same EXACT > spec's (BIOS version included)? No it wasn't the same system at all I just wanted to see if it was a problem with the CDs or the system. I tried on a different spec system again and an install is currently underway (i.e. out of three different systems one doesn't seem to work). So I think it is the one server type I have a problem with. > Also if this video card shares mem > with the system mem, you could try giving the card like 32M to start > on, then take that back down once its up and working. I'll look into the BIOS setting again. Thanks, Jim
