I've just installed a new video card (Sapphire Radeon HD5570) in my HTPC and now it won't continue to boot into Windows without a trip to the BIOS (for nothing but exit) or just a push of the F1 key. Each time I boot now I just push the F1 key and it boots fine and the machine works normally forever. What's happened?
I should mention that I originally tried to use a new MSI card and gave up on it because it also requred the F1 key push. So that's two separate new video cards that will not boot normally.
Motherboard is ASUS P5N73-AM with 2gb of RAM, WD740 Hard Drive, running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.
Thanks for your help and advice.
