Disconnect all the drives and pull all the cards except the RAM and the video card (if there is one).
From the message it sounds like it might have run ok. Sorry, I do not check for private messages

The diagnostic card thing is a main board defect card. The code FF comes up on it, and i don't know what it really means. I am using this diagnostic card to work out why my motherboard doesn't output a screen.
It doesn't run ok cuz no screen from any graphics card i try

Contact the people who make the card and ask them.
