GeCube Radeon X1950 XT AGP with wrong device and display? - 2008/07/10 17:05
Hi, it's been awhile since I have posted here but anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this. I have a GeCube Radeon X1950 XT 256MB AGP garphic scard and the problem is there is no display on either of the DVI ports and no TV-out at all. Windows detects the card and tries to install drivers for it but it does not know which card it is and says it can't find suitable driver. If I select the correct driver it will install but reboot when it finishes and back to square one.
I have checked with Everest and SiSoft Sandra and the card is recognised as ATI Technologies but the device ID is wrong, it reads PCI device ID 1002-7A7A, AGP info reads the card as working at AGP8x, sideband addressing, enabled and fast writes enabled and the card gets warm as well, so I know the card works and is recognised in Windows, Everest and SiSoft Sandra.
If I use ATIFlash in DOS and get advanced card Information it shows correctly but the device ID is 7A7A, if I flash it with the GeCube Radeon X1950 XT 256MB AGP BIOS from this site, which is the exact same one from my card, I was given the card a faulty everything matches in BIOS reading from advanced adapter info from ATIFlash.
Now when I force flash the BIOS to the card eveything goes well and succeeds and changes the device ID to the correct one which is 1002-7244, but when I reboot the computer, there is still no display and the device ID still reads 1002-7A7A. Is there anyway to force and/or change the device ID so that it stays at 1002-7244. If I open the BIOS in RaBiT it reads correctly. ATIWinFlash just runs but only shows in task manager taking up 50% CPU cycles on one core only.
So has anyone got any ideas on this as I have been on this for hours now and tried everything I can think of but I just can't get the device ID to stick. So would the device ID being wrong cause thyere to be no display at all. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
