Ati 9700 pro 128mb problems

hi everyone, i have installed this card in my 733mhz powermac,768mb memory running 10.4. i get the open firmware, then blue screen and thats it. i installed drivers from ati, pressed cuda button, ran permissions, still no joy, i do not have the installation disk for it, help!!!

Hi again, All,
I've gathered some additional information regarding the QuickSilver power supply, as opposed to the QuickSilver 2002 power supply. I have one of each system currently in hand—I can verify that an original QuickSilver has a power supply rated at 344 Watts, while a QuickSilver 2002 has a power supply rated at 355 Watts.
Details and snapshots of the labels as follows:
original QuickSilver power supply
Manufacturer: AcBel
Wattage: 344 W maximum
Manufacturer part number: API1PC12
Apple part number: 661-2514 (found via Google search; not printed on the label itself)
QuickSilver 2002 power supply
Manufacturer: Delta Electronics
Wattage: 355 W maximum
Manufacturer part number: DPS 340AB A Rev: 02
Apple part number: 614-0158 (apparently, not a standard 661- part number)
Looking at the two power supplies as they're installed, they appear to be identical in form factor and I see no reason why a 355 Watt model could not be installed into an original QuickSilver (or even in the Digital Audio and/or Gigabit Ethernet models, with the proper mounting bracket). As others have noted the MDD power supply appears to be rated at 360 Watts, this might mean there is a single, drop-in solution for those wanting to take a stab at running the OEM Radeon 9700 in either QuickSilver model, and without having to modify your case in any way in order to cram a MDD power supply in there!
DISCLAIMER: Apple has been known to place differing (but compatible) parts into systems based on availability at the time of manufacture. While I have one of each model in hand and so have provided a photo of each, do NOT purchase a whole system unit without actually checking the power supply label to make sure it does, in fact, have the proper power supply you seek! And even so, we're still testing here and so any information I can provide should be considered anecdotal at best, and not "definitive".
I'll be in touch as soon as the OEM Radeon 9700 reaches me within the next week or so, and will provide further information at that time. Here's hoping!
Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 2002), 20" Cinema Display   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Dual 1.0 GHz G4/1.5 GB RAM/2x160 GB HD/SuperDrive/GeForce4 MX

  • K8T Neo and AGP ATI 9700 Pro...Video Problems!

    This computer has been out of service for almost 6 months as I have replaced it with a new one. I grabed it today and loaded XP Pro on it without any problems. I have 2 monitors attached to the ATI 9700 Pro both running at 1600x1200. After configuring the new OS with updates and drivers I rebooted. This is where the problem surfaced.
    PROBLEM:
    I get to the XP PRO Loading screen with the progress bar. After a few seconds, 2 revolutions from the progress bar, the screens go black and a few seconds after that the monitors go into standby due to the lack of a video signal.
    MORE INFO:
    Several times when I tried to reboot, the PC would not display video at all and beep (the video error), 7 times (I think). Now this problem is not happening. Although I did get random characters all over the screen once.
    I can boot into Safe Mode without any problems.
    480w Thermaltake PSU
    THEORIES:
    The AGP slot is having problems changing the resolution from default to 1600x1200 for the monitors.
    NOTE:
    This computer has always had problems, 99% of which were playing video games. The problems I experienced in video games were that the computer would lock-up or automatically reboot after random time intervals when playing games. The games I noticed it having the most problems with were Everquest II and World of Warcraft. I replaced this machine with a Dell and have had no problems with either application. Therefore I can rule out faulty software. At the time before replacing this machine I tested everything, Memory, Hard Drives, etc...

  • ATI 9700 Pro or GFX

    I have an 845PE Max2 Fir (ms 6704 ) Win xp. Is anyone using the ati 9700 pro with this mb. if so did you have any problems with it and do you like it.  I haven't decided which card to buy yet but I surely don't like the idea of paying $4 to 500.00 bucks for the gfx which will be outdated before games are even made to utilize the features it will have.  Thanks
    Den

    I agree with Richard...
    The reviews I've seen show that the Ti4200 is right up there with the FX5xxx series cards until you get to the FX5900 and atm there are no games released that take advantage of the newer cards anyway so why spend money needlessly?
    SWG and Unreal2 are going to be the first two games that support DX9 anyway and both will run on a Ti card very well...
    Up to you cause it's your money but I wouldn't buy something that isn't going to give you the bang for your buck...why not save a little longer and buy something worthwhile like the 9800 or 5900? You must have a couple hundred by now...by the time you save a couple more hundred you'd be able to afford something quite a bit nicer...

  • Best bios settings for K8T Neo + Athlon 64 3200+ + ATI 9700 Pro ?

    Hi, i just got my k8T Neo (MS-6702) and can't figure out the best/most stable settings in the bios for my system yet. I am mainly using my computer for GAMES, so this is what i am talking about when i say "optimization"
    I got an ATI 9700 Pro, an Athlon 64 3200+ and 2x512 mb of Kingston Value Ram (bank 1 and 2).
    The main settings i really don't know how to set are:
    -Internal Cache
    -External Cache
    -System Bios Cacheable
    -C000, 32k Shadow
    -MPS Revision
    -AGP Fastwrite
    -AGP Aperture Size
    I wish i could get rid of any instability problems, i had a few crashes so far. Yet, i would like to set my system to get the most of my hardware in terms of speed.
    Thanks in advance for your help guys !

    internal cache-on
    external cache-on
    system bios-disabe
    c shadow stuff-disable
    agp fastwrite on unless you have problems, you'll know fast
    agp apperature size..depends on sys ram if over 512 best to atleast 128, if not 256
    (official recomadation is 1/2 your system ram)
    disable any onboard stuff you dont use like sound,sata controlers,  
    quick boot enable. smart enable
    logo disable, floppy drive seek disable,
     i wouldnt mess with mps table version.
    power management to s3 usb wake enable..power management agm-disable
    suspend time-disable-...set wakeup events hit enter, choose kbc & or mouse.
    that should get you started.

  • K7D Master-L + ATI 9700 Pro won't boot WinXP

    I posted about this a while ago, but none of the responses helped.
    I can't boot into Windows XP. It gets to the black "progress bar" screen and stops. I can boot into Safe Mode, and when booting using the logging, it stops when loading the "agpgart" file.
    I'm currently running Windows 2000 and still have an odd problem. The system detects two video cards: "RADEON 9700 PRO" and "RADEON 9700 PRO - Secondary".
    I'm using the latest BIOS for the board, and latest drivers.
    Any ideas?

    I just finished redoing the drivers, and still have two display adapters listed. The only difference I can find, other than the name is this: one device is listed as "PCI bus 1, device 5, function 1" and the other is "PCI bus 1, device 5, function 0". The dual-output theory is probably correct, I never thought of that because I've never used the DVI output (I only have a CRT monitor), nor have I ever used a computer with a dual-head video card. I guess I assumed it would still show up as one device. Even if thats not correct, its good enough for me to forget about it! :P
    When I was installing WinXP, it was a clean install. I've never seen a "100% successful" Windows upgrade, so I steer clear of doing that. I know enough to partition my drives so I don't have to reinstall everything or lose data through reinstalls. I recently got a new XP CD, one that includes Service Pack 1a. My other CD is the original release, so maybe that will help somehow. I was actually thinking about going the upgrade route, since full install doesn't work. I have no other PCI cards in the computer. I'm using the on-board NIC and audio.

  • Need new ATI 9700 PRO CARD, where from?

    MY old Dual G4 mirror door (1.4ghz) MAC has a 9700 ATI PRO card (that also supplies power via the ACD to the 23 inch cinema display). IT LOOKS like my Graphics card is dying, and want to get a new one, however if I get a new card, then I will also need the ADC adaptor ($179.00) from an apple store, then 49 bucks for a new ati card.. ouch. As all the common (PC type) made ati 9700 cards DONT supply power via the DVI out port, there fore:
    What I am looking for is the Mac made ATI 9700 card that supplies power via the DVI/ADC cable so I dont have to buy the adaptor for the power for the display. Does anyone know where I can get the MAC MADE ATI 9700 card?
    Thanks

    Hi-
    You can buy Geforce cards with ADC connectors at the following:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/agpvideocards.html
    Since the 9700 is no longer produced, and as the Geforce Ti4600 is exspensive, you'd probably be better off with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac, and the DVI to ADC converter. The Gefen DVI to ADC is $149 at the following:

    The problems may lie with your card or the E7205.  I have not seen any issues with the Radeon and the E7205 before though so maybe just the specific card that you have???
      MSI is the best board option - no question!!
    If you haven't heard about the problems with E7205 and Radeon 9500/9700 go to this page: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/index.php?threadid=15673&boardid=10&styleid=1&sid=c2048d78c60db623b046a7f81fbb3830
    That's only one link and I'm sure that you can find a lot of issues about this in other sites too. The 845, 875, 865 boards don't have the this compatibilityproblem.

  • Radeon 9700 pro problem with Far Cry game

     
    When I playing far cry at High Deatils, after 5 minutes game will crashing, and i got graphic error message
    I have Last update of official ati driver , and i tried OMEGA unofficial driver;
    but problem still running.
    Sys. Spcs.
    Mobo MSI 865 Neo 2 P
    CPU P4 3GHz HT
    RAM 4x256 dual channel
    Graphic Card Radeon 9700 pro 128MB/128Bit
    PSU 480 Watt.

    Game crashing could be caused by few problems, could be software or hardware. Assuming we're looking into hardware, I suggest you run MEMTEST for your RAM and see if your RAM is defected. Other than that, I can't think of any reason than power supply. But you stated you have a 480 W which should be sufficient. It could be a known problem with ATI on Far Cry? But if this's the case, ATI should be able to deal with it via Driver Update.
    If it's software, this is broad. Does Far Cry have any patch?

  • MS 645E MAX-U & ATI Radeon Pro 9700

    I took delivery of a new PC a little while ago but it has never successfuly run any of the games I currently play.
    Age of Mythology
    Battlefield 1942
    Warcraft III
    Variety of errors including exiting to desktop, freezing, blank screen, unsupported frequency errors etc.
    Tried XP Home, W2K, XP Professional but none work. XP Sometimes catches the errors, offers to file a report with MS and accuses the RADEON Drivers.
    Tried variety of Radeon drivers (Currently 6200).
    Have spoken to suppliers a number of times and they suggested reformatting as FAT - no joy, loading DirectX 9 - no joy (Yes I know its only Beta but the supplier didnt).
    Now want to request suppliers replace components but not sure which. Other information suggests users have played battledfield with the 9700 so I think it may be MB or the combination.
    Suggestions please??
    Spec:-
    Systemax Premier Midi Tower 300W

    Hi All,
    Finally got the supplier to replace both power supply and Radeon card.
    Power supply is now Antec SL400 which is not as good as the True Power I asked for but still appears to meet the specs being recommended.
    Radeon is like for like to cover possible hardware fault (They would have swapped for GeForce but none in stock at moment).
    Problem is if anything slightly worse (Now using 3Dmark2002 which appears to give repro results).
    With new H/W 3DMark doesnt even start, before it used to cause reboot during tests.
    Tried fiddlying with BIOS and it appears that reducing Memory clock so that memory is at 266 instead of 333 produces a stable system. No other change seems to have an effect.
    Not yet had chance to report to supplier.
    Suggestions Please.

  • Going to take a Plunge And Get 9700 Pro

    As much as it hurts my wallet. I want to get it.  Why bother upgrading your system if not going to get one of the best Video cards to go with it.
    Read a few problems with these. But looks like things are fine now.
    OH the inhumanity of it all.  ;(

    Yes. There is some sort of a bios issue when using and ATI 9700 Pro AGP Card with the K7N2 (MSI 6570) Motherboard. It is fine if you use bios ver 3.3. If you upgrade your bios to 3.4 that is when you will have problems. The reason that I say this is that i built 2 Computer systems exactly the same. Except the only diffrence was the bios ver. When the system would POST some times i could get the video to work. When i would reboot the computer or turn it on then some times no video would come up. (this was before downgrading to 3.3) I thought it was memory so i had tryied swaping out DDR chips and that didn't work. Both systems are using AMD XP 2600+ cpu's. 512 MB DDR 333mhz 2.5 cas (generic). and of course ATI 9700 PRO 128 MB AGP card. When MSI updated the bios from 3.3 to 3.4 they messed somthing up in the process.  MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR BIOS. After updating the bios i have not had any video issues since.
    Enjoy

  • KT4 Ultra +Radeon 9700 Pro Trouble Free !

    After a few months of relatively trouble free gaming with KT4 Ultra and Radeon 9700 Pro, I was shocked to find recently that my PC began to crash after only a few minutes of gameplay.   8o
    Believing that a reinstall of all the relavent drivers would cure the problem, I set about trawling through the latest advice on what works / doesnt work. This I have to say was a minefield of anecdotes, mainly bad ones - as most of you guys are probably aware !
    After installing drivers as 'best' I could, the problem remained the same.
    It would appear that to ask for a complete list of recommended drivers is futile, since there is little correlation between reported 'fixes'. There is always someone reporting that the latest versions are causing problems.
    For the moment, this tale has a happy ending cos I found that the system is getting too hot (after some months !), so with the side panel off and a 12 inch desk fan blowing inside I managed a 4 hour session with now problems. )
    The purpose of the post is to highlight the disturbing fragility of these systems (which i'm sure many of you have first hand experince), both in hardware and software and to share my disbelief at the apparent lack of sustained testing that these boards undergo.
    Looks like a better cooling system is in order  

    It's unfortunate that most of the new hardware seems to pump out heat. The ATI 9700 pro use about 100W of power on it's own. The whole system puts out enough heat to warm a small room.
    I have noticed that the heatsink on the ATI card gets very hot, even though it has a fairly serious fan on it (the fan on my Sapphire card is a lot like a blue orb).
    I am wondering if a lot of problems with these setups are thermal. I have the KT4 Ultra and ATI 9700 pro and it has not given problems at all.
    I have (from past experience) installed plenty of cooling in my case (a full tower, that helps too). I find that the cooler everything as kept, the less problems there are.
    I think that at some stage in the near future there will have to be a change somewhere. Either in heat output (reduction in power use) or cooling.

  • Need video card compareable to 9700 pro

    I've got an msi 865pe neo fisr2 mobo. ati radeon 9700 pro has problems and is not compatible with my board. so, what from nvidia will be fully 100% compatible and compare in performance to the ati radeon 9700 pro or be slightly better? I'm thinking for price, $150-$200 at most.

    I know it is not compatible cus i tried a GF 3 card with no issues. my brother in law has the same mobo and same card yet had the same problems. so that is incompatible. his card works fine on his older pc with different mobo, same for me. so i bought an nvidia card from leadtek. i dont trust ati and might not ever.
    back when i first got the system built, i had the same problems. just i wasn't as upset because it was new. after time the same issues started getting on my nerves. i never not had issues. i always have, just at first it didn't bother me as much cus it was new, then after it got old i was poed at the issue. my brother in law same issues, got a new card for his pc and no problems. i tried an nvidia from my own pc and no problems. so the problem is the ati 9700 pro is not compatible with my motherboard nor my brother in laws. and my card is under warranty, it's already sent back to zipzoomfly, but since they have to wait 6 weeks or so from the date i sent it to them and will not exchange and i pay the difference on a new card or something, i am without a video card in this pc. they had to send back to ati, wait for ati to send them the thing, then send me the card. they said 2-3 weeks 3 weeks ago, and now tell me another 2 weeks or so. lol. but i can't wait this long, so i got a new card, should be here tomorrow, will never open the radeon 9700 pro once i get it back and i will just sell it. also i know for fact this is fact cus an ati rep said this as well as someone else on these forums long time ago. with cerain radeon 9700 pro, it was not compatible and never would work reliably.
