ATI Radeon 9600 Pro problems... - 2005/09/21 22:44 Hello...

I have an Emachines PC 3230 that has an integrated graphics unit Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller which is pretty crappy. I got an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro to upgrade my comp and installed as follows...

Uninstalled Intel drivers, turn off comp, connect Radeon 9600 Pro in the AGP slot, turn comp on enter BIOS settings and disabled the Intel onboard card. In the BIOS there is no option were you can select the AGP slot on or off just an option allowing you to select the of MB of the card. It was on auto so I changed it to 256MB which the card had.

Save and Exit. Turn on computer and big black screen... But when I turn the PC on I can still enter the BIOS settings when the monitor is plugged into the graphics card. What is wrong? There looks to be power to the card as the fan spins round and the PC seems to load up normally into XP but there is just a black screen after the initial boot up and will not reach XP...

I have checked all connections but it has made no difference. I have no idea what could could be wrong...

System Specs...
- Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
- OS Service Pack Service Pack 2
- DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
- CPU Type Intel Pentium 4, 2800 MHz (28 x 100)
- Motherboard MS-6714 PCB 5.0 (3x PCI, 2x DIMM, Audio, Video)
- Chipset Intel Brookdale-G i845GE
- System Memory 768MB (PC2700 DDR SDRAM)
- Video Adapter Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV 64 MB
- 3D Accelerator Intel Extreme Graphics
- Monitor Medion MD7415TE 15" LCD
- Audio Adapter Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller

Thanks for help anyone...

Re:ATI Radeon 9600 Pro problems... - 2005/09/24 17:08 Well if you disabled the onboard graphics card, then you don't need to set any memory neither as that is only applicable for the onboard card. So make sure it is set to zero! Then is the AGP slot enabled? Normally that should be in the BIOS under Resources...

Re:ATI Radeon 9600 Pro problems... - 2005/09/24 18:25 Maybe you must leave the Intel drivers installed. Maybe they are the same for the i845 chipset. This is the one that pilot the AGP slot.

Re:ATI Radeon 9600 Pro problems... - 2005/09/25 19:10 In the BIOS there is no option to enable/disable the AGP slot. I have tried installing the card with intel drivers, without but nothing. I am currently in the process of getting a new PSU from Ebuyer would of got it yesterday but the silly billys sent me speakers instead lol... Thanks for the interest though. Got anymore ideas anyone?
