I recently purchased a new Dell 4700. I added to it a PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card (SysKonnect SK-9E21D). Now everytime it boots I get the error:
IO Card Parity Interrupt at 1000:8FEA
Shut off NMI, Reboot or press any key to continue

If I Press any key to continue I get the same error ~10 more times with different memory addresses then eventually boots. If I hit S to Shut off NMI it boots just fine. This happens every time I boot.

If I take out the NIC it doesn't give the error. NOTE: I'm also trying this with no other devices in any other PCI or PCI Express slot. I've run diagnostics on the NIC & Mem Tests on my RAM & gotten no errors on either of those.

Another note, that once Win XP boots the NIC works just great and wiondows itself doesn't report any errors with the NIC.

From reading other sites, I've also upgraded my BIOS to A05 (the latest) but I'm still getting the same error.

Anyone have any idea on how to:
1. Ideally resolve this error?
2. Permanently disable NMI?
3. Resolve this a different way?

Thanx
