Aaargh!!
I have the same problem as GoKhoo!! I bought a new machine yesterday, with a MSI 6163 and a G400. When I boot her up, I hear the four beeps and it tells me "Abnormal hardware setup, press any key to continue".
I haven't installed an OS yet, but when I press any key, everything seems fine. I checked the diagnistic LEDs and the corresponding error seems to be that "the VGA adapter isn't inserted correctly or isn't functioning", but since I can see things on my monitor, I don't understand whats wrong. I thought it might be that its an AGP card, but when I try to use an old S3 card on the PCI bus, the card doesn't seem to work at all.
I could continue installing the machine but I don't feel very comfortable with a boot error like "abnormal hardware"...
