Maybe you can get a USB floppy drive and try to console that way? You may want to also look at the BIOS and see if there is an update or tweak on the video card or AGP. I know you said you tested it on another PC, but did you test it on another server of the same EXACT spec's (BIOS version included)? Also if this video card shares mem with the system mem, you could try giving the card like 32M to start on, then take that back down once its up and working. -Erik-
