Cannot get VGA IRQ to "stay put"

I am trying to get a FIC AN19 Motherboard with 512 MB Dual-channel DDR ram,
Athlon 2000 XP and Windows XP to run an Innovision GeForce4 Ti graphics
card.

The problem appears to be that if I assign an IRQ for the VGA card in the
BIOS setup, the card will work flawlessly until the next reboot. After the
reboot, the "Assign IRQ for VGA" option will be cleared to "NO" in the BIOS;
Setting it back to "YES" will get the card running again.

I cannot get this to work - Anyone else has similar problems?

It sounds like you have problems with the BIOS itself. Have you tried a
different revsion of the BIOS?

Thanks,

I made a mistake BTW: the Box the motherboard came in is labelled "AN19" -
yet the manual calls the card "KT400A Pro". I assume that is what it is.

The only updates for the KT400A Pro on the FIC site - is this: "VME41 2.1
Award Initial Release 2003/8/1". The words "Initial Release" does not offer
much hope ;-p, I will try it.
