What Do I mean by 'boot', I mean:

  1) POST is completed.
  2) It seems to start to read from the HD, then the system stops.
     The result is a blank screen except for a flashing cursor in the
     upper left-hand corner. By 'seems,' I mean that the drive makes the
     usual (ie, the sounds prior to this new Svga-card) sounds to my ear.
  3) I replaced the old graphics card, and now the system works again; sounds
     and all.

  2.1) The same holds true for when I try to boot from the fd.


  ---Could the Vga card be desigend to interfere w/ the HD/DH card?

  ---Are there no standards to adhere to when it comes to peripheral
     add-ons?

  ---And if the dealer does not take back/exchange this card, I hope
     MasterCard interfaces well with this. :-)
