180486	2003-10-04 23:55:00	A new mobo - a PCChips (Hmmm BBQ flavoured even) board with SiS Savage (aptly named) video onboard. Board manual says - stick card in restart machine. Various sources online say "change bios settings to PCI or AGP" etc. But none of this solved - what appears to be a common problem when trying to up grade to a new AGP card (and yes the board does have an AGP slot). I would still get a black screen and concerned beeps coming from the box. The AMI bios was dated 05/03 - but doing a BIOS upgrade (08/03) actually fixed the problem straight away. So if you are running a cheap board - and have changed your bios settings to no avail - try checking with the board manufacturer for a bios update. Of course you flash yr bios at yr own risk...
