Re:Request:Connect3D Radeon X1600 PRO 256MB BIOS... - 2007/04/01 20:14
Hi to all, I read this thread with great interest as I am also having problems getting this card to work on my PC although my card is the 512MB version. After installing the card and rebooting my display goes blank at the point where I would normally get the XP login/user selection screen. I have installed the driver from the CD that came with the card which, according to the CD is version 10.5. and have, after reading this thread, downloaded but not yet tried installing version 6.5 of the display driver from the Connect3D website.
I have convinced myself that I need to flash the card as described but, never having flashed a card or motherboard before, although I have done almost everything else, I thought I would seek confirmation from the users of this forum first. My motherboard is the ASUS A8V Deluxe. The BIOS build date is June 17 2004. My current card is the NVIDIA GeForce FX5900 XT. Another issue is that I don't seem to be able to uninstall the driver for my current card. It's not showing in add/remove programs and if I use Device manager I get message to the effect that the driver can't be removed as it may be needed... If I disable the device I can't then use the card without booting back to a last known good configuration.
Getting pretty damn fed-up with this now having spent many hours scouring the internet for a solution and multiple card swaps and reboots! Could anyone tell me if the solution posted will resolve my problem or even suggest some other solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
