PCi-express Card problem

[bigjim]

I have a Ecs geforce7050m-m with a nvidia 7050 and i added a Pci-e x16 Nvidia 7200gs with 256 mb. and when i installed it and configured all of the bios crap and when i went to boot it up i got the stupid "You need to restart your computer" thing and when i removed the card i would boot up using just the onboard card i would get to a functional destop and would get a kernel panic after i clicked shut down.

can someone pleaase point me in the right direction for getting the dumb thing working--or tell me how to make it work

Thank You for any information

I presume your doing this with efi string? If so get hold of efistudio
or this might be of help, for 7050 256mb

head on over to PCwizcomputer.com and check out the software he has posted there.... then use the content from this site to help understand what is being done... I wouldn't actually use it because it is for ethernet... but its still EFI strings just the same...
