Allan, It is not a surprise. The description of your problem was a typical BIOS issue, most of time from the motherboard and in your case from the video card. That's why since OSCAR developers asked you to check your bios first. :-) This kind of issue is always difficult to figure out and unfortunately we cannot do much to improve the situation. Remember that you should be able to update the BIOS of the video cards, which may fix your problem.
Enjoy your new cluster!
