I found this, but it does not reference the BP6:
2. Why do I get lock ups when I am in AGP 2x mode with an Abit BX6,
BH6, or a BE6?
- Thanks to reports from our clients and beta testers, we have
found that there seems to be a problem with some casings not
giving enough room between the inside of the case and the start
of the motherboard.
Here are a few items you can try:
- Force the card to AGP1x.
- Pull out our card then re-seat it but don’t screw in our card
into the casing's bracket. ***Please make sure that the PC case
is lying down.***
- Re-align the motherboard by loosening the screws that hold the
motherboard to the casing, push back the motherboard, tighten
those screws and put back our card.
Just curious what all this effected since I have G200 PCI (enlight
case as well). Is there something else I missed?
