Ok..........here's the deal. I get this P750 video card happening great with
2 x HDSP 9652's in the PCI slots and x UAD-1's in the Magma. Problem is,
when I boot the computer, the post screen is a garbled bunch of hash. If I
try to enter the bios, this is also a garbled bunch of hash because it
follows the post screen. Once I'm past post, the computer boots normally,
but I need to be able to rtweak the bios so I decide that the bios may need
to be updated. I install the ASUS utility that allows one to flash the bios
from the Windows environment and load it to a floppy. then I launch the
utility and try to flash from the floppy. The flash fails and I am prompted
to close out of the utility. Well, guess what, my bios is now corrupted and
my screens go totally blank. I can't boot to my windows OS disk, Norton
Ghost recovery disk or my mobo utility disk now. I guess I could clear the
CMOS, but then I would need to see what was happening when the system comes
back online in order to set the time, etc. or I'd be further hosed.

I'm really hating this evil Matrox POS right about now. Had I not bought it,
I'd be making music, plain and simple.

Anyone tell me how to get back to square 1?

I'm really stumped.
