	I honestly do NOT know what I did to fix the UEFI "thing"::
	unless I followed somebody's hand-waving: "you can fix this in the
	BIOS."  I spent several hours mucking around in the bios until
	I could boot =without= seeing the bloody message:

	"Can't Find the Boot Track"  followed by the idiot sentence:
	"hit any key to reboot."

	When you find a new machine, please do share which model and
	make, etc.  the tech I hired found me this model that  was 
	supposedly a "profession-grade" model.  --if a new card [and
	driver] cant resolve the resolution issue, I'll take him up on
	his offer to fix it somehow.
