i have posted in another thread about a problem i have of irregular symbols and "funky coloured rectangles" appearing from the very first graphics card post onwards.
no solutions yet, and i was comming round to the conclusion that the only thing that would sort the problem out would be a future motherboard bios update.

However something said in another thread i read somewhere got me thinking.

If the problem occurs right from the first post, has the bios any effect on this? and could an update fix it??

thankyou for any comments posted
 
i doubt it would help, especially if any other graphics card has worked before, if during post the graphics card is messing up, it's gone for good i'm afraid.
 
i forgot to mention the graphics card does work on other pc's and the problem seems to be specific between my MSI KT3 motherboard and Hercules 3d prophet 2 ultra gfx. other cards do work fine with the kt3 motherboard and it has been rock steady with an old voodoo 3 card (touch wood).

but i really love my ultra :'(
 
if there is a bios upgrade it is possible that this might help. it is possible that this card brings out a problem that the voodoo didnt. this is unlikely like he said but possible. I am sure you tried the agp settings in the cmos. so I would contact the video card manufacturer about compatability
