Any Ideas on this? (K7N415 PRO)

An NForce board that doesn't like a Gainward GF4 Ti4200? This freaking crap blew my mind for about 3 hrs trying to get the system to boot. The system loves my Leadtek GF3Ti500. And my AMD Dualie likes the GF4 LOL.
The Nforce would hang at boot with MSI's little LED lights saying bad proc or proc not installed correctly with the GF4 installed. That is until I threw my hacked Promise Ultra 66 into PCI slot #5, when the promise card was in it would boot every time LOL. It would also make it farther into the boot without a vid card at all and would of coarse give me a No vid card error. I tried everything I could think of including swappin power supplies trying to boot out of the case to no avail. Any ideas guys?

wow... thanks for the heads up. been having tons of problems trying to get my new nforce 415 board to boot up... I yanked the Gainward ti4200... and it booted past where it hung before.  now I gotta borrow another vid card to use to flash bios I guess.
What version of the BIOS did you use?  Also... is there a seperate bios for the 415? I only saw a bios for the 420 available on the msi page.  Any help would be appreciated.
