Question about 'Resolving Hardware Conflicts'

I have a question about Resolving 
Hardware Conflicts:

I have a bootup problem that I believe is due to a video card I installed. I either get a black or scrambled screen. I hit Ctrl,Alt, Delete 4 to 10 times and it boots correctly and there are no problems...only when I start the PC. If I start the PC fairly quickly after shutting down it boots fine. I have disabled the cirrus logic video that came with the PC. I heard that the video card should be in a certain PCI slot...first, last....I don't really know. Could this be the problem? I have updated drivers installed. I know that it is sharing the same IRQ (10) with other hardware but I was told that this was not a conflict...maybe someone else knows better. Is there another IRQ someone would recommend? Thanks 0 System timer 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard 2 Programmable interrupt controller 3 Communications Port (COM2) 4 Communications Port (COM1) 5 Aztech Sound Galaxy Washington 16 6 Standard Floppy Disk Controller 7 Printer Port (LPT1) 8 System CMOS/real time clock 9 MPU-401 Compatible 10 NVIDIA Vanta 10 Efficient Networks 3060 SpeedStream PPP Adapter 10 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 10 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 11 Aztech Sound Galaxy Washington 16 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port 13 Numeric data processor 14 Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller 15 Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller

Boot into safe mode and remove the Cirrus Logic card from the display area of device manager, it may still be there. Then you have to check Win.ini, Autoexec.bat and config.sys and make sure the drivers for the Cirrus Logic card are not trying to load. Finally, while in Safe Mode, set your display to the standard PCI video setting. after all this is done, then make sure you have the newest drivers for your new video card, the ones that came with it are probably out of date, and install the newest drivers.

Thanks for the advice but I had already checked that. I do have a yellow exclamation mark on the cirrus logic but everytime I REMOVE...Windows just reinstalls it as New Hardware at Startup. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

With built in video on your motherboard you will likely have to disable it on the motherboard (a jumper) or in the BIOS. If you don't have a manual for your mobo you'll have to search for one online. Once disabled you should be able to permanently remove it from the device manager if it doesn't disappear on it's own.
