-The problem is caused by the card taking up the first 16 mb of ram during boot. Currently, the only known solution to this instability requires rloew's ram patch. To do this, run the command line option with "/M".

-Another potential fix requires managing system resources. The card may conflict with another device, so simply changing the resource to an unused area will solve the issue.
