Weird. Another thing to check is:
Settings -> Configure KMail
Identities
-> <The Identy you use for your reply to this list> -> Modify button
-> Templates tab
-> check if the checkbox is checked (probably shouldn't be):

The motherboard manual should tell you what a single beep during the POST
means specifically. Usually it means successful POST, but while looking at
the motherboard manual in that area, there might be some other informative
POST-related status information that could be useful.

That could depend on manufacturer, BIOS manufacturer and available options,
and BIOS settings.

If you have another videocard available that is compatable with the new
motherboard, try it. Likewise to test the videocard you could try it in a
different machine, if you have another box that could accept it.

My understanding of "x16 running at x4" means that it's a x16 slot that's
_wired_ for x4, meaning that only a device wired for x4 will work, and a "x16
wired for x16" will not. For this it's probably best if if you find out the
specs of the videocard on the manufacturer's website to know what kind of
PCI-e slot the card requires.

We'll see.
