Multiple Graphic Cards, Still freezes and Crashes Asus CM6830
I bought two identical Asus computers for my business and both seem to dislike graphic cards. The computers will ramdomly freeze (dead keyboard and mouse) and some times shut down. No BSOD. The problem seems to go away when I remove the graphics card and run the on-board VGA device. I've tried wired mouse and USB with no differece.
I've tried formating the hard drive and re-intalling a clean windows7 Ulimate with no change.
I've updated the bios several times, and updated all the dirvers. The unit came with a ATI HD6450 (fan) and I switched it out to a Asus Geforce GT530, and then a GT520, and none of them worked.

Seems to be my solution but I can't get anything to adjust using the Asus bios manager. Asus has a AI manager that will not work after downloading and the bios numbers seem to be displayed only. I can't adjust anything.
I sent one unit back to Bestbuy and they didn't have a clue, and then back to Asus they said it was the Graphics card, installed a new one without testing it and sent it back. Still freezes. The problem seems to be getting worse the more cards I try. I assume the un-used drivers are not helping.
