Hi,
I've finally got everything working on my P200.
However, once I replaced my video card with the Intergraph 3D I noticed
the machine does not boot correctly most of the time. I have to keep on
depressing the reset button till it reboots. I also noticed the
Intergraph 3D card "clicks" the NEC MultiSync XP17 about 3 or 4 times
till it shows the booting sequence. My previous card only "clicked" the
monitor once.
Anyone else have this problem?
Do I need new drivers or need to flash the bios?
Regards,
john

The new BIOS flash might help some. But I would check and make sure
that you have not "cached" or "shadowed" the video BIOS in your CMOS
BIOS for your motherboard. This might help with boot-up problems. Also
you may want to try putting the card in a different PCI slot.

: Should I "unshadow" the video BIOS from CMOS?
I haven't run across any problems if I leave the video BIOS shadowed.
However, I think Intergraph says it should not be. But, I tend to think
that this is the "cautious" approach. Until I start experiencing
problems, I think I'll leave mine cached & shadowed.
