Hello Everyone. I am new here and hoping someone might have some experience with my problem. I am building a NVR system and I am using the Q-See QSDT8PCRC PCI card. The PC runs great without the DVR card (I'm using the PC to post right now). When I install the DVR card and flip the switch on the power supply (on the back of the PC at the power supply), the system turns on without me pushing the power button on the front. After 4 to 5 seconds, the PC turns off and about 4 to 5 seconds later it comes back on. This cycle continually repeats itself. Nothing ever shows on the monitor and it seems as if the PC isn't even POSTing with the card installed. Pushing the power button on the front has no effect either. The motherboard is a Biostar H67MU3 and the CPU is an Intel i3-2100 at 3.10 GHz. I have tested a different PCI card in both slots and the PC starts up fine with it (it is a PCI dial-up modem). Thanks to anyone who can help!!

ludshed, I just realized the card you were using is a PCI-Express card. The DVR card I am using is a PCI card. Makes a difference?

Thanks ludshed!! I will definitely try that. Thanks!
