I'm no expert, but I can toss a few ideas out. Take everything off but your
video card, hard drive, and scsi card. Then try to get your setup to work.
If your pc has a pci video card, it probably is the motherboard. If you have
a isa video card, it's probably a setup conflict. Check your temination!
If the bare minimum doesn't work, you have less to figure out, because you
have less factors in making things go wrong.
