Ok.
Some ideas that have been found/offered:
Update your BIOS dumbass! ::thing to try first. Feels stupid::
Try with a PCI vid card instead of the AGP ::Thought that up myself::
can't wait to get home and see if I can't fix the dumb thing. *sigh*
Wants puter to work!

Well, i updated the bios and tried again.
No luck.
So I pulled out my old video card that has a PCI interface and I'm currently formatting the hard drive for another go at the bitch.
It worked fine with my old setup.
*sigh*
so go the perils of upgrading.
Hopefully it'll like the PCI interface better.
Next thing to try is swapping out the RAM stick for a different one. Perhaps I got a bad one. It happens.
*crosses fingers*
hopes not.
Anyway, I'm going to get some food while it formats. Takes the stupid thing ages to format.
*shrug*
big drive.
Anyway, hopefully tomorrow I'll have good news on this front.

In other news...
Nothing.
boring day at Unisys, did pretty much nothing but try to figure out what I was going to try on the puter this evening.
No frisbee until thursday.
Friday is my first paycheck from Unisys. That'll be nice. :o)
hopefully the next post will be from my machine.
