Hi Romel!
I have exactly the same problem.

Win7 64bit / Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 motherboard / Gigabyte GV-R577SL-1GD Radeon 5570 graphics card.

I found out that the intesity Pro works fine with some other graphics card but not with the none that I have.
And it seems that it is not faulty, though. As it works fine on another Win7 (64) system.
When I intstalled the card plus drivers it worked fine. And still does but just after the installation.
After a reboot (no shut down (!) just reboot) it is still recognized and works fine.
But if I shut down the PC for 30 seconds or so it is not recognized anymore. Changing slot helps. But just until the next shut down.

This is what helped (at least 2 weeks long).

Install the card plus drivers. It should work fine.
Then reboot (do not shut down the PC!) and enter the BIOS.
Don´t change anything just save and exit.
Now the card should work fine.

It solved my problem for 2 weeks. Now this “trick” does not work anymore.
It seems as if the card is not registerd properly. At least on some motherboard graphocs card combinations.
I really hope BMD fixed this bug!!!!!!!!

By the way a friend of mine had the same bug on a Mac!

Take care.

Hello Paul!
Yes you are right. I solved the problem.
This is how I did it:

I installed the card as usual includig all drivers (I mentioned that it worked after the first installation).
Then I rebooted the PC but went dirctly into the BIOS setup!
I did not change anything just saved to CMOS and exited.
Thereafter everything worked fine.

Don´t ask me why this is.
I never had any similar problems before.
It could be a driver/firmware or WIN 7 64bit problem.
Anyway the PC keeps the Intensity Pro card in memory since.
I have to apply the same procedure whenever installing a new driver update.
