usb pci problem
I tried to install a USB/firewire pci card, but the computer locks up right after it recognizes new hardware. It boots up ok, then loads a couple things in the system tray (I use only 3 normally), then gets completely stuck. Nothing will move. The mouse is stuck. I put the card in 3 different slots and nothing's changed. When I take it out, the computer is fine. I have the latest BIOS for my 8200. Anyone know what the problem is?

You probably have a bad card. Try exchanging it for another one. I doubt you have 3 bad PCI slots.
