Intel Inf Driver + Radeon 9700 Pro = Graphic Corruption

Greetings all,
Here is the problem:
Upon a fresh install of Windows XP Pro w/ SP1, I immediately installed the Intel Inf Drivers for AGP support.
On reboot, the little motion bar underneath the Windows XP load screen is graphically corrupted. The monitor would blank out once it tried to activaly go into Windows. Safe Mode has the same corruption, but the screen would let me boot into 640 x 480 (not sure how many colors though).
I have had the 9700 pro RMA'd and the motherboard (865 PE Neo2 PLS) RMA'd. I purchased an Emermax 450W Dual Fan PS. I have tried the video card in another machine (Athlon 64) and it works fine. ATI Video Drivers have no effect. As it corrupted on the default drivers included with Windows XP Pro w/ SP1, that's not the issue. I tried turning off Hyperthreading, Spread Spectrum, loading the failsafe bios defaults, the corruption was still there.
Currently, I have an old GF2 GTS into this machine and it loaded the inf drivers without a hitch. In this installation, the USB mouse actually stops working and I get a warning that the power has surged to the USB port.
Here's the rest of the equipment:
Intel P4 2.8E w/ HT.
MSI MS-6720 i865 PE Neo2 PLS Motherboard
512 MB PC400 RAM
Soundblaster Live Value!
Enermax 450W Dual Fan PS
Plextor 12x10x32 CDWriter
LG 52x CDROM
Osprey 100 Video Capture Card
I'll be posting the same issue on the Intel Forums and ATI forums, along with Rage3D. I have a feeling it's something to do with ATI's native interface with the AGP slot on the mobo, but I don't know for sure.
Thoughts?

In answer to the above,
the problem occurs with both the Omega Drivers, the default ATI drivers and the DNA drivers.
If I don't plug in the molex connecter, the video card will not power up at all and there is a warning to plug it in.

KT6V + Radeon 9700 PRO screen corruption, sometimes ok after 2 minutes.

Hello,
I tried nearly everything to get the vertical stripes and distortion away, but they are still there.
Its an Powercolor Radeon 9700 PRO and the card works ok in both opengl and d3d. It seems that if the computer has been some time off, the screen will get garbled and sometimes totally unreadable. Most if the time they slowly disappear when in windows, but sometimes I need to power off and try again.
I tried Crucial RAM, same problem. I sent the videocard to the shop and they returned it, because they couldn't find anything wrong. They tested on an Abit athlon motherboard.
There are no stripes when I put a radeon 9500 in it.
I have tried setting all the voltages a bit higher and changed the timing settings in the bios, but nothing helped.
There seems also a slight problem in flight simulator 2004, when changing views, the screen becomes totally garbled for a split second. The same happens when I have the radeon 9500 in.
There was one AGP setting I found which only aggreviated the garbling problem with the radeon 9700, so maybe it is just a timing problem with AGP.
I cannot change to AGP 4X in the bios, because it is dimmed. I did try 4X with smartgart, but it doesn't help when starting up.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Fely

For agp4x you can try the >tape trick.

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.

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?

that is suggesting to me either your PSU is failing, or it is a Poor PSU with over-optimistic amp ratings (eg Q-Tec). it will all appear to work fine on your older board, as that has lower power requirements, have a look in my sticky Is your problem caused by your PSU? for more info and advice.

MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR + Ati Radeon 9700 pro = not good??

Hello everybody!
First of all, i youst have to say that i think MSI have the best motherboards....
Here's the problem (i haven't buyed anything yet!):
I am going to buy MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR and ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, but i have read many places that Radeon aint working with MSI KT4-based cards! Im am going to buy an 520W Power (i aint so good in english so i hope you now what i write :D )
I am also going to buy 2 x Cosair pc3500 xms ram... Is this one working with the motherboard by the way?
But my question is: Will the Ati Radeon 9700 pro work with this card? (i must remember to buy the 1.3 version!) I am gonna get my Radeon 9700 pro from USA, how can i now when i order that is an 1.3 card?
Thank you for answering! :]

I think also that even there is two drivers, that is not a reaseon why it isn't work. One time I install only standard VGA drivers, but result was that I got two standard VGA driver. 8o
First time I try without VIA drivers, then with 4.42 and 4.43 VIA drivers. Result was almost same all the time, it always crash when Nature test start, but this exist also to older mobo (Abit KT7A-RAID). Problem exits few games they lock up or stuttering. Ati demos works fine, but one time that car demo stuttering a lot, but I transfer data at same, so I'm not sure what was reason.
This moment I don't have possibilities to try Hyperion 4.45 drivers or something else, because it's my friend computer.

Identify Intel INF driver version

How do I check my Intel INF driver version? The reason I ask is that in the Device Manager (running Win XP Pro) under system devices, if I choose any of the 'Intel (R)....' devices it says that the driver version is 5.1.1009.
But the MSI liveupdate utility says my current version is the latest version which is reported as being 6.0.1.1002
I know I have the 3.50 BIOS and the latest is 3.0A
It also says I have the latest AC97 drivers and Realtek drivers and I can confirm this by looking at the driver number in device manager for those devices???
I keep getting random reboots but only when booting up (seems to happen when it scans my USB Speedtouch 330) and also sometimes when shutting down or restarting it resets early. Coming back into windows it asks to submit an error report and the report says a device driver caused it. I can't help but think it has something to do with my Speedtouch 330??? (not the speedtouch 330 itself but the USB interface on the motherboard)
Details in sig.

Try this ( works for me ) :
Look in Program / Intel / Infinst / readme
There should be a read me file that show this info….
* Product: Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility
* Release: Production Version
* Version: 6.0.1.1002
* Target Chipset#: Intel(R) E7520 & Intel(R) 915G/P/GV

Live update 3
Have you checked for latest 330-modem driver / firmware, for best Sp2 compability.
Also set your mem.voltage to 2.7v in bios.
Possible that your PSU is on the limit to power up all your stuff.

Radeon 9700 Pro & KT4V-L

Addition=ATI Radeon 9700 Pro displays Texture corruption, locks up
And freezes in OpenGl,
9700 Pro freezes and locks up in EVERY D3D Game I have attempted to Play.
I have tried 4 different sets of 9700 Pro drivers, tried different versions of Direct X (8.1, 8.2, 9.0 RC0)
Have disabled Fast Write and many other bios options.
Have RMA'd for 2 different ATI cards, still getting
The same problems.
Tried all the bioses, cleared CMOS, re-partitoined, reformatted, reinstalled Windows more than 5 times.
Tried beta AGP drivers aswell.
Tried installing with minimal amounts of hardware to reduce
Chance of conflict between 9700.
Radeon 9700 Pro is on it's own IRQ.
I have the latest revision of the Radeon 9700 pro now, rev 1.3

Grrr, this is all giving me a HUGE migrane.

Ouch,
I feel bad for you - I also have the same mobo and want to get a Radeon 9700 - I think I had seen you posting well on Rage3d with the same config, what happened?
What I would try next is what some users have done as a possible workaround...It looks like the radeon 9700 on the MSI KT4 likes HIGH mobo fsb - so you might want to try unlocking your 1800 and run at 10.5x166 or lower multiplier with a 166fsb...
before going 166fsb, try right now to bump your fsb with fuzzy logic up to 140-150 and see if it changes anything and report - don't go to high passed 150 though if you don't have good air cooling - also, set at least 1.775 on the cpu vcore going after 140fsb...if this does not help, then you might want to try what I put above...
Also, increase your PCI Latency to 64 in the bios (default is 32) - this is no risk really, so try that as well...
**** Of course before overclocking with the fsb, turn off Spread Spectrum in the bios...
If you increase the fsb, you will also need to increase DDR vcore to 2.6 am recommending...I've done that with my KT4VL and worse for different purposes...
Also, you might want to increase agp voltage a bit and see if it changes anything...
You're not done yet - looks like some users were able to run the same config so you never know...
Be careful when you OC, if you're not sure - ask first and take your time
Put your ram on SPD setting in the bios when you start bumping that fsb....
If I can find the post, I will put it here but some KT4 user has to do this (increasing fsb) to get his 9700 to work great...
Hope this helps,
--fibo
Also, go and post to the amdforums msi, as there are quite a few msi kt4vl users there...

Radeon 9700 Pro - poor performance

I am having a lot of problem getting my new Radeon 9700 Pro to perform anywhere near its capablities!
My system:
MS6340M V5.0 - with latest Via driver.
AMD Athlon 1 Ghz
512Meg 133Mhz sdram
3D mark 2001SE score 5300 :(
Firstly I booted up with a 230w PSU and it worked ok, but have replace with a 300w PSU which didn't make any difference.
I have reduced my Radeon quality settings to mininal, but there is no noticeable difference.
I realise that the MS-6340 is only 4x AGP, with a 'slow' processor, but I should be seeing higher frame rates than 10 - 30 FPS on Americas Army, or Unreal Tournament 20-40 FPS ?
Any ideas?

Your problem is the 1ghz processor and your 133 Ram. I'm running a GF4 ti 4200 64mb from MSI, not overclocked, with athlon 2200 and 256mb of pc2100 crucial. My 3D mark scores are over 11k. Your bottleneck is the processor. You'd probably get the same scores with a GF3.

KT4V + Radeon 9700 Pro

Got the KT4V yesterday and hooked my Radeon 9700 Pro up to it.......Powered up the PC....Right away the GFX were corrupted.......Text in the Bios was like ASCII code......Flashing blocks of colour.....After a few Reboots the GFX seemed ok......But once Windows loaded........They corrupted again..........Tried lots of things but nothing is helping.....The AGP port is fine.....Tried my Geforce 3 in it and it's runs perfect ;(

Did you install Mobo's drivers ? What was your last Mobo ? If not a Vía Mobo, you will have to do a Windows repair. You'll also have to install V.Card drivers.

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.

AIW Radeon 9700 Pro card no work

I just put together this sytem:
Dual Opteron 242 (1.6ghz)
MSI 580 Master2
3 sticks Samsung 512 MB ECC Registered PC3200 400Mhz DDR
All in Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro
Antec 550 Watt TruePower:
+5V 40A
+12V 24A
+3.3V 32A
-5V .5A
-12V 1.0A
+5 SB 2.0A
At this point i turn on the computer and the fans go on but then the power is cut - I think by the power supply. After a while I realized how to at least keep the computer running - I unplugged the Radeon's REQUIRED power supply (via HD..CD.. etc power cord) and it worked, problem is video card wont work without that power.... So um what do i do.
Card worked on my former Abit comp which I have used for over a year....

Im going to shift this thread to memory, the All in wonder is not the problem, and the boot-up problem MSI knows about but has resisted to fix it probably because they dont know how, a workaround is to hotplug the power adapter in which is not the best or safest way but its the only way. My new case doesnt have a PC speaker for some reason so i ran a wire from a PC speaker to it... I get continous long beeps... sounds like memory problem, I've tried Samsung 266mhz 2700 (worked in my old comp), and what i want to use, PC3200 Samsung 400mhz. Both are ECC registered.
I have 3 sticks 512MB... they go in DIMM's 1 2 and 3 correct? And you only push down until the clips snap in correct? I've tried just one stick of both types in all 4 different DIMM's, same end, I tried no memory, same result.

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (Original)

Just a little question; Why doesn't ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (Original) work properly with K8N Neo Platinum 1 and 2 ? At any of these mboards computer hangs on a reboot. It's not a deadly issue to me due to that i use the 9700-card on a computer that always is running. But have i maybe missed something ???

I had the same problem with my 9700 Pro (built by ATI) on the K8N Neo2. To resolve it, I upped my AGP voltage in BIOS to 1.6 volts. Worked fine then. I've since switched cards to a Leadtek 6600GT and leave the AGP voltage at 1.5 volts. It works fine so I think maybe it's an ATI/MSI problem. . Hope this helps.

Hi I own a 655max mobo and a radeon 9700 pro. I play games direct3d OK with agp 8x, but when I play Quake 3 Arena for about 15 to 30 min my video crash. I changed the agp 8x to 4x and everything works fine, but the framerate slow down seriously.

Please help !

ok i just tried to do that kaigon and the strangest thing happened, my system will not respond or start up with radeon in now... it will however if i leave the supplemental power plug off of the radeon, it starts, then gives me the error telling em to connect it, then when i connect it and hit power...nothing. pop in my old gf2 and fires right up, i dont understand this at all especially because the first time i turned my system on was with the radeon, with supplemental poower plugged in. i tried everything i could think of in the BIOS to straighten this out, but nothing, any more help would be awesome! thanks.
