Oddity w/ my new 9262 and Creative Audigy XFi card....

[pad11]

Strange....if I leave the card in the Slot, the 9262 will NOT complete it's boot up...it stalls on the Sager screen...I have to hard boot off, unplug the XFi card and then it boots up just fine....then, I put the XFi card in and it works well too....anyone else experience this?

It more than likely will have something to do with your boot order in the bios where it hangs. Contact tech support for further help on getting this resolved at 1-800-741-2219 :D

I have boot issues from time to time also. I don't have the problem with the X-Fi card but I did have an issue with my iPod yesterday. Sometimes, instead of just hanging, the POST screen is corrupted by vertical white lines at the bottom. I'm not worried about it because I'm sure it's different connected devices causing it. It would be nice to have a BIOS update that corrected the problem though.
