Gee, this must be one of the strangest things I've ever heard happen during 
POV-Ray running/rendering.

Electronics getting that dusty inside the case, eh? :)

I don't get the connection between the card and POV's I/O Restrictions 
thing. That's pretty weird, eh? Hopefully you won't be having more trouble. 
I also don't understand how it effected the CD booting, etc. if Safe Mode 
was being used, since that should have used a simple VGA display (possibly 
from onboard video of the mainboard?).

Well, I just plain don't get it anyhow. I suppose you checked the file 
system for errors by running a chkdsk on the drive...?

I see you posted again before I got this reply sent, saying the I/O box 
still shows up. Maybe you should have a look at the POV-Ray\ini\pvengine.ini 
file and look for the following (mine is set to allow everything) to make 
sure POV is finding it there:

[Scripting]
ReadWriteSourceDir=1
NoShellOuts=1
IO Restrictions=0
