It's ordered (new HTPC)

Interesting. I have my onboard graphics enabled AND an X1600 (multiple monitors and my projector). Does it see the MyHD as a video card?

No, it sees it as a multimedia controller.

Ok, so I spent more time trying to troubleshoot the system without any sucess and someone posted this gem in my thread on this AVSforum amongst all the drivel about my PS being inadequate.

From this thread.

Question: Why won't my computer boot after I install the MyHD card?

Potential possibilities
1) There is a BIOS issue with several PCI-Express based motherboards and video cards that result in a conflict with the MyHD cards. Depending on your specific motherboard, BIOS version and video card, you may be able to work around the problem.

More details here and here

The first link in the quoted section works. The second doesn't because it's been archived. Here is the URL to the archived thread/post.

Apparently this is one of the work arounds

Evidently, there's a solution only if your mobo's BIOS setup has a way to adjust the video aperture. It seems that some do not and can't work with the MDP. If you can find such an adjustment, try setting it to the size of the video card's DRAM.

Of course the Gigabyte I have doesn't have an adjustable aperture (at least that I could find). I'm going to pass all this information onto Gigabyte and see what they can do.
