GD>> Try putting your ISA video card in an ISA slot if it's in a VESA slot now.

Nope, won't help.  The ISA portion of a VLB slot is plain ISA.

GD>Does the same when I switched it.  The problem occurred to me, but to no
  >avail.  Could it be a bad MB or bad CPU?

Could be, but unlikely.  A test you can do on the CPU is to shut of the
cache; there should be key combination to do it.  An unusual problem,
but it does crop up; usually when running 32 bit code though.

GD>> Also try getting newer drivers for your card.  It might be conflicting wit
  >> the new BIOS and not the VESA slots.

Definitely, most likely problem is the driver, second is the BIOS.
Might check for an update of your motherboard BIOS too if you worried.

GD>Got the number to Diamond?  Got me a Speedstar 24X...  pretty fast & kewl wi

Diamond is very good about upgrades.
Their aggressive stance on performance means they are constantly
tinkering with the drivers, which means bugs come up now and then.
Fortunately they keep at in until they get it right, and they continue
to support their older products.
