I went through several steps to find out what was wrong. Going through
"troubleshooting tool" showed that there was a DMA conflict. But going
through the System check showed no conflict. I uninstalled the card and then
moved it one slot. Rebooted and all is OK. At least the PC does not freeze.
Thank you,
Gary
