I also suspect the problem coming from ASUS motherboard and PCI-E graphic card. ASUS A8N-VM Socket 939 motherboard. GigaByte PCI-E card, GV-NX66256DP2 Nvidia 6600 PCI-E The motherboard has an onboard graphic card. I may not disable it correctly. Its manual/BIOS setup does not provide detail instruction on disabling onboard graphic card. I'm now searching for advice and information in this respect. B.R. SL
