    Radeon 5830 Preventing PC from Booting

    I should mention that I did try to install the Catalyst driver program but the installer kept failing. I made sure to run Windows Update and that Direct X was up to date.

    I went through the BIOS and couldn't find an option to change the video to use the PCI-E 16x port instead of onboard. So when I unplug the video card, it boots and makes a lot more noise, and I assume it's because the fan is running full speed. When I plug it in, it never gets back to full...
