I have a new MSI Eclipse m'board (MS-7520) with an Intel i7 920 processor. I have some Corsair DDS3 RAM (1333). My problem is the amount of time it takes for the graphics card to initialize. I have the graphics card plugged into PCI_E2 black slot. When it boots up, my monitor recognises that there is a DVI cable plugged in and it's powered on, but it'll just sit there with a blank screen and the D-LED 2 has the VGA.ini message displayed. It will bring up the BIOS splash screen and OS eventually, but the amount of time it takes is not right.

I've tried 2 different monitors, 2 different cables, only one RAM module, resetting CMOS, m'board out of case, VGA connection, and of course 3 different video cards. All graphics cards and monitors work fine in or with other PCs.

The graphics cards I've tried are PX6600 GT (I have 2 of these) and GeForce 9400 GT.

I've run out of ideas. Is the MSI Eclipse so picky that it needs only a particular brand/type of graphics card??
 
I upgraded to BIOS version 1.20. The Live Update Series 3 program is telling me that 1.20 is the latest version, but the MSI website has 1.30...
 
This problem is caused by using a USB Logitech Illuminated Keyboard. I contacted MSI, they sent me a new BIOS version (1.45) and problem solved. Why a keyboard causes video card delays, I can't explain, but it does and MSI have come to the party and fixed the problem.
