I think there might be some confusion. This pic is not a very good illustration of a bios chip on a mobo http://snipr.com/u78c4 -- but I haven't searched around for a better portrayal. You said you installed a new *card* and you found something hot (presumably on the new card); which makes me think that you actually mean that you found some chip on the unnamed card hot. Why don't you start at the beginning and tell what kind of a card you bought and also and more specifically which chip felt hot to you. Where is the chip located and what are the words if any on the top of it? -- Mike Easter
