RE: Greetings all. First time I'm posting. Appreciate any assist

Hi Steve,

Looks like a serious problem. It surely has nothing to do with a raid
controller, since you don't have one ;-)
You said you are using three PCI video cards. Maybe in Device Manager you
can check what resources they have/use, especially IRQ (Interrupt Request
line). Also the Matrox adapter. Check if there is e "conflict":
Device manager \ Display adapter \ <adapter> \ Properties \ Resources
There you find a box: Conflicting devices.

Then you can check if there are newer drivers available on the web for
Matrox, but possibly more important, the radeon cards. Many times if you use
the drivers from a CD that ships with the card, on the web there are already
newer versions.
e.g.: mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html

Hope this helps!

Good luck,
