Question ( Q&A-67):When I install a Terratec Cinergy C PCI TV card or Technisat Cablestar HD2 TV card on VIA ® chipset based motherboards, such like 4CoreDual-SATA2 (PT880 series motherboards) or ALiveSATA2-GLAN, it always show "PCI IRQ routing table error" message after BIOS POST, or simply hang up during BIOS POST. Any way to fix the problem? (9/5/2008) Answer:Due to compatibility issue of VIA® chipset with Terratec Cinergy C PCI TV card and Technisat Cablestar HD2 TV card.

Question ( Q&A-59):I use a NVIDIA ® 8800GT PCIE VGA card on VIA ® chipset motherboard. But I got black screen on the monitor. How do I solve it? (11/5/2007) Answer:The NVIDIA ® 8800GT PCIE VGA card is GEN2 mode VGA card. Unfortunately VIA ® chipset does not support GEN2 mode VGA card. The only solution is to set 8800GT PCIE VGA card to GEN1 mode. We have tested 8800GT PCIE VGA card. After flashing GEN1 mode BIOS for 8800GT, it works fine on VIA ® chipset motherboard.  Please contact VGA card vender to get the VGA BIOS with GEN1 mode for your 8800GT PCIE VGA card.
