Yup, I am not a gamer and my PC has never rocked so fast than with the
straight 4M pci card. It will even multi task for the first time!

I am happy.

I am thinking it might be a monitor issue. It is an NCR with no
available drivers, but still the boot issue... Oh well.

Since it happens during POST, when drivers aren't loaded yet, I'd
suspect a hardware compatiblity issue. Or maybe a problem with the
MB's AGP slot.

Just did a quick Google on your motherboard and came up with this:

Near the bottom is a section on Nvidia problems with this MB. May help
if you haven't seen it already.

Thanks, I have the single CPU with the VIA Apollo Pro133Z chipset
instead of the one mentioned and tried a 2005 VIA update with an AGP fix
in it also. Original drivers were 2002. Worse if anything with the
2005. It would only stay stable for one boot with that one, at least
the old drivers worked for years, just slow as a pig. I haven't seen a
performance increase since my P200 upgrade from my 486.

I am happy now with the 733 mhz board and 1G ram, it isn't worth messing
with until I upgrade hardware. I have never used anything so fast as it
is now!

Not sure if you saw or are ignoring my earlier post but I''ve been
using this free anti virus on all my PCs for 6 month with no problems.

I got a new dell laptop in August that came with McCafee, I reformatted
to remove all the dell crap and tried this virus scan instead and am
very happy with it
