Hardware Compatibility Check

1) Definitely : Software does NOT degrade Hardware ;

2) Using software to violate hardware recommendations (like writing out-of-range values to video-card registers) is not an excuse ;

3) The most probable couse for your problem is the SCSI card - which , as you say , is made for COMPAQs ;

4) You MUST (or should) double-check the Hardware-Compatibility-List provided by the manufacturer of the SCSI card ;

5) As a general rule, have in mind that ANY hardware from major manufatcurers (eg. COMPAQ, IBM, HP, DELL) is crafted specifically for their equpiments ;

5.1) using their boards/parts on generic PC is strongly discouraged ;

5.2) using generic boards/parts on their PCs is strongly discouraged as well ;

6) my strongest advice at this time is to remove your scsi card and use your equpiment for a while (even without backups), just to prove that it runs alright without it ;

good luck, and success !
