Cannot get VGA IRQ to "stay put"

External Since: Jan 13, 2004 Posts: 5

I am trying to get a FIC AN19 Motherboard with 512 MB Dual-channel DDR ram,
Athlon 2000 XP and Windows XP to run an Innovision GeForce4 Ti graphics
card.

The problem appears to be that if I assign an IRQ for the VGA card in the
BIOS setup, the card will work flawlessly until the next reboot. After the
reboot, the "Assign IRQ for VGA" option will be cleared to "NO" in the BIOS;
Setting it back to "YES" will get the card running again.

I cannot get this to work - Anyone else has similar problems?

It sounds like you have problems with the BIOS itself. Have you tried a
different revsion of the BIOS?
