Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

well go update that bios, then see if it works, and if not, take the side panel off, and try again.
I had the same problem. I was helping a friend out and was going to upgrade his video card from a Nvidia MX 420 64M card to a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro that I had laying around. I did the normal removal of the nvidia drivers via Windows Control Panel, then shut down the system, installed the Radeon and rebooted. Installed the new Catalyst drivers for the card and everything seemed to be running fine in Windows.
Whenever we loaded up Everquest, the game went to a CRAWL. The MX420 would run circles around the Radeon, which totally blew my mind.
But someone on another board said that Nvidia has a notorious way of installing it drivers everywhere and it takes some real rooting around to remove the drivers completely. But this could possibly be the reason why the Radeon card is running so badly.
I havent had a chance to try everything they said over at forums.pcper.com but hopefully i can this weekend and give the Radeon another try in his system.
Hope that gives you a little bit of help. If it does work out for ya, drop another post here and let me know.
Thanks
