I have a nonsense happening on my old ABIT SA-8 Pentium4-HTT.
Few days ago I decided to switch my server with desktop.
now I got it running pretty much like it was before switch... in fact I configured it much better (you live you learn).. but here are some mysteries....
I have AGP Ati Radeom video card in it. So since I don't use it, I decided to take it out.
The problem is, that when I take out video card... that PC doesn't boot completely.....
I can't ping it (ever), Net interface (I have direct link from desktop PC to server) shows 10 something connection {maybe baseT I don't remember, but it wasn't even full-duplex} (It should be 1000baseT full-duplex)
I don't know how far it boots (I have not video card in it and thus monitor), but fact is, that when I plug in Video card it JustWork(tm). What the hell?
I don't want to keep video card in server, because, video card is quite old, but good (Radeon 96xx. R300 chip, which have 3D support with Ati video driver). I don't want that video card to die, without working (you know what I mean?)
Any ideas?
