Help! K7N420 compatible with MS-8894? Crashing!

I just installed my new G4Ti4200-VTD8x onto my K7n420 Pro Mobo. I had  no video card installed...using the onboard video. I set the AGP aperture to 128 and booted my XP system. As soon as the destop appeared, it crashed back to reboot. I removed vid card and rebooted and uninstalled the nVidia Geforce display adaptor, as per the instructions for NT installation XP not in manual) to remvove the video card. It boots and then crashes over and over. Will my mother board support this video card? Is there a problem because the mobo is 4x and the card is 8x? Help!

From another thread started in the MM forum by ivorybow
I just received today by mail order the MS-8894, G4Ti4200-VTD8X. I have spent the last 5 hours uselessly trying to get it installed. All I can believe is that the card is bad. I followed the instructions in the manual best as I could...no instructions are given for the case of installing when you are using the mobo onboard video. I shut down, installed the card and rebooted. When I did the system got in a loop of rebooting and crashing. I finally got it started in safe mode. My onboard G2 nVidia AGP got dropped and the standard VGA drivers had been put in place. XP gave the message, new hardware intalled, referring to the standard VGA drivers. Then when I put the MS-8894 driver CD in, the choice to select drivers to install is not there on the install. Finally I got them off your site and installed them. Rebooted into normal mode and the same thing..a flash of blocks of color and then shut down and reboot. I finally fixted it by removing the new card, zeroing out the CMOS, rebooting, and enabling the onboard G2 video.
XP crashes within 2 minutes of booting with this card in. How can you tell if a card is bad?

EDIT
I have updated your original post with the additional text from the thread you also started in the MM forum. I have removed that one.
I am moving this one over there as it is more related to the Video card. A link will remain here as well so it will be seen by both forums.
I suggest starting only one thread in the appropriate forum in the future
READ CAREFULLY
Did you move any other PCI cards or anything prior to installing your new card?
You said it wont let you install the drivers, what messages are you getting?
Last ditch efforts:
I just had the same problem installing my TV card a few days ago but safe mode was a no go for me. I had to reload windows but I chose the option to not format and then reinstall in the same c:windows directory. That way I kept all my files. I then backed up my critical files and did a full format and reinstall afterwards.
You may not have to do this if you can get to safe mode.
You can try uninstalling the video drivers from add remove programs. Or Use System Restore to put you back to your last restore point.
I noticed you provided some specs but I have never seen a 2509 watt power supply, I am assuming it is a 250 watt. If that is the case, then it is underpowered for the GF4 and is more than likely contributing to the problem or what caused the installation to fail originally.
You can also wait to see if anyone has any better ideas.
I am short on time and have to go to work and may not be back here till tomorrow.

  • How to create a help box compatible with reader mobile?

    I've imported an excel file into pro and then modified the pdf form. I attempted to create "pop up" help boxes two ways:
    1. action button with java script
    2. action button with show/hide field
    Each time I imported the pdf form into formscentral, downloaded it, emailed it to myself, and then opened it on my mobile device (with adobe reader, not another reader). Neither way recognizes the help boxes.
    As I've been reading, it seems like a lot of bells and whistles aren't compatible with reader mobile which is very disappointing. Is there any way to create help boxes that are compatible with reader mobile?

  • K7N420 Compatible with????

    I have a K7N420 Pro mb and want to get a good video card for it, I found a msi GeforceFX5600 card and want to know if its compatible. It says agp 8x/4x but I've seen manuals that state theres an agp2.0 4x and an agp3.0 4x (don't know if that's true or not, just seen it), I want to know which one the Msi card supports but havent found then info on any of the websites, if anyone has the info please share.

    What you could do is go read up on the specifications of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 by going to http://www.google.com and doing a search for each one. Read about it and make your decision based on the specs...

  • Help! Problem with Sun vm crashing browser

    Hi, i've got a live charting applet that updates twice a second and displays stock data to a user. The applet works fine using the Microsoft VM but using the Sun versions it produces a steady slowdown of the computer - windows get really jerky dragging around and when resizing the applet the window takes longer and longer to repaint. Eventually the browser crashes drawing bits of windows all over the place.
    There are no memory leaks and the applet drains the same amount of CPU resource as when it starts and, having run profiling tools (jprofiler and optimizeit), i can't find any any other drains.
    I've narrowed the problem down to the two methods that paint the chart and all the price ticks, dates etc. around it. These have this basic form:
    Graphics g = offScreen.getGraphics();
    set clip, fonts etc. do all the painting ...
    Graphics g1 = getGraphics();
    g1.drawImage(offScreen, 0, 0, this);
    g.dispose();
    At the moment i'm periodically calling offscreen.flush() and disposing of the created Graphics object (g) each time it's created but this doesn't solve the problem. I also tried recreating the offScreen images every few seconds with no luck.
    Does anyone out there have any further sugestions - this is becoming a very frustrating problem! Many thanks.

    i'm personally using the 1.4.2 version but the problem seems to exist with all the different versions of the sun plugin.

    I downloaded it and looked at it.  Even Graphic Converter can't recover any pixels or meaningful data, just some general information:
    In my experience, if GraphicConverter can't open it, nothing will.

  • Error: Platform version '25.0' is not compatible with minVersion = 26.0 maxVersion = 26.0 HELP!

    Hi All,
    I keep getting this error message when opening Firefox on my computer. However, if I run it as an Administrator it works fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox including downgrading to older versions and still no luck. This is the Error I get:
    Error: Platform version '25.0' is not compatible with minVersion > = 26.0 maxVersion < = 26.0 edit
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.<br />
    Other security software may have similar features to prevent Firefox from updating files properly.
    See these pages for a similar issue with corrupted files:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#XULRunner_error_after_an_update
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 26: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    if possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Help! My display driver is no longer compatible with Adobe software!

    Help!  I rely on Adobe CC and my iMac to earn my living. My display driver is no longer compatible with Adobe software! What should I do? (most affordably because I dont have enough money for even basic living expenses right now.) Detailed notes are below but in a nutshell, I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS display driver. Adobe no longer supports it and disables the software functions depending on the graphics hardware. It recommends I check the manufacturer's website for the latest software. I did but only found firmware update for a different type of display driver for my early 2008 iMac. What should I do??! Please help me solve this!

    If you decide to use up to the minute applications, you will have to accept that the computer and operating system will eventually be incompatible with your chosen application as the features in the latest application rely on new hardware and operating systems to support them.
    Your options are to either use a newer Mac or use a version of Photoshop that will run on your Mac.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.
