What does this mean? I tried swapping RAM, in the first slot, no difference. Took the RAM out, no difference. Have an X1300 PCI-E card in the top-most video card slot, slot card is plugged in "single-video-card".

Strange that the RAM would have to be in slot B1 instead of A1, the closest slot. I put 512MB in B1 and B2, and it's showing up as single-channel, which is even stranger. Oh well, it's working now.

Depending on the BIOS vendor, it could mean VGA initialization error or RAM problem.
