ATI x800 XT and G5 Dual 2 not cooperating - no picture. Help

Folks, I just got an ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition today, installed it, and could not get to my login screen.
Here's what happens.
- power machine on, I hear the ATI fan blow for some seconds
- fan quiets
- apple logo appears against grey screen with spinning wheel thing (not the beach ball, but the grey one)
- full blue screen shows up, then a different shade of blue, then the curser, no login screen
- it hangs there
My machine worked fine when i put my 9600 XT back in so there's nothing wrong with the computer. I tried the card in another G5 with no success.
Just wondering if anyone had these issues before I send it back.
G5/ Dual 2 GHz/ Apple 23" Cinema Display (ADC)/ 10.4.7

Hi Tangier,
did you install the necessary drivers? ATI DISPLAYS 4.5.7.
Works perfectly on both my G5/Dual 2.5 and G5/Dual 2.7. If it still does not work try to reinstall the latest Combo update, presently Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC)

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • When i try to do a software update, it finishes and then says that the update cannot be saved because it has probably been corrupted during the download. This has happened a number of times and i do not know why, any help?

    Burned iMovie .mov to DVD and it caused movie to skip/have weird transitions between scenes and sound to not match with picture. What can I do to help fix this when reburning?
    Movie details
    QuickTime Movie

    Duration 17:39
    2 audio channels
    Codecs- Linear PCM, Apple ProRes 422, Timecode
    Thanks!!

    You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Graphics Problems with Leopard, ATI X800 XT, and Power Mac G5

    I just upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 with an ATI X 800 XT graphics card installed, and a Dell 24" monitor running at 1900x1200 resolution. After about 5-15 minutes, the screen starts shimmering with these green lines everywhere. It keeps getting worse to the point where I can't see anything and have reboot. Then, it starts all over again after another 5-15 minutes. The only way to solve this problem is to turn down the resolution to 1360x768. My fan is also running at max speed constantly since I've upgraded. I was hoping that 10.5.1 update would fix it, but it hasn't.
    I've spent the last hour reading posts on this forum related to my problem to see if there is a solution, and as far as I can tell there isn't one. Is there something I missed for fixing the display and fan problems? Is there any hope that 10.5.2 will fix this? I've never had problems like this with any of the other OSX upgrades. I'm basically forced to go back to Tiger for now until this problem is solved. I can't believe ATI hasn't updated their drivers for my card since 2005!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Masai,
    It sounds like a problem I had when I first got a new ATI X800 XT last October. When I first installed the card, there were what looked like florescent green symbols all over the screen which would get worse if I moved a window around. I ended up returning the card to ATI and exchanging it for a new one.
    If you could post a screen shot, I could confirm the similarities in our problems. My problem was caused, I think, by the card overheating . . . which was the result, I speculate, of a disconnect between the X800's memory chips and heat sink.
    I got a second card, and it's been working perfectly with Leopard. In my case, the card itself was the problem and not Leopard and/or graphics drivers.
    Hopefully that's not the case with your situation. Did the card work okay under Tiger or whatever your previous OS was?

    You won't be able to change the rescue email address on your acocunt until you can answer two of your questions, if you don't recognise the address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • In XI pro, exporting PDF to Excel problem.  Excel columns and data are not properly aligned.  Help?

    I used 30 day trial of Acrobat XI and all the functions work perfectly.  But, when I buy the program (either download or disk) my PDF that export to Excel is not working.  The excel columns and data are not properly aligned as they should be.  The Trial version aligns everything perfectly.  What is happening?  I use a MAC 10.9.5.  But this shouldn't matter because the trial version works perfectly.  Can anyone help?
