1 - what is your blizzard ? blizzard 1230 MKIV in your signature ?

2 - What exactly happens when you install your card ? what leads you to believe it's dead ?
I believe in mt. Fuji

Perhaps if you tell us what the errors are, we might be able to help.

before you throw it out, i suggest giving it a good clean with a q-tip and cleaning fluid. I recently bought a 060 which I thought was broken, continual crashes, etc. I gave all the contacts on the 060 and the board and my amiga expansion port a good clean with the fluid and it's been working perfectly for the last 4 months.

if it is broken i still wouldnt throw it. have it repaired or sell it as broken on ebay. someone will be able to fix it and you will feel good about saving a rare amiga item which someone else can breath life into. good luck!

resetting and some errors are pretty common after install 3.9 :)

did you instal it properly from emergency disk etc?
How are you set teh jumpers?
Is thar simm stick 60ns or 70 ns?
Did it run in another card?

 as you see maybe it isnt faulty blizzard, ya know
too lazy to use shift key properly...
