Sorry about previous post. I realized I didn't change the subject after
I already sent the post. I am also thinking that since the motherboard
is new, do I need to reinstall the driver for the video card? If so,
how can I do this if I can't even boot the machine? The driver is on a
different machine on our network. Below is my previous post that will
explain exactly what is wrong.
