IBM PC730/PC750 - No video with Matrox video adapter
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM PC 700 Series 6876 or 6886 systems may exhibit no video at system startup or under application control when using a Matrox PG-1281/8 MicroChannel Graphics adapter card.
Problem Isolation Aids :
The PC 700 Series 6876/6886 MicroChannel systems disable the onboard video controller during POST when it detects the presence of a video adapter card. The Matrox PG-1281/8 MicroChannel Graphics adapter depends on the onboard VGA video to be active at system startup in order to supply high resolution modes. Since the onboard controller is disabled, the end result is no video.
Fix :
Obtain and install Flash BIOS level N2JT47A or higher.
