K7T & ATI Radeon problem

Hi All!
I have a strange problem and could not find a cure for it so far. Hope you'll be able to help me.
I've recently put an MSI-6330 board and a ATI Radeon 9200 (mfg: 3DConnect) together. The problem started at the first boot. The board didn't sense the VGA card (Ta-TiTiTi :-) (no picture, monitor stayed suspended). Hard Reset -> the same beeps came. I switched my board off and on again. Now it recognized everything and boot up normally.
I checked it out again. Switched it off, then on. Beeps were coming from the speaker. Switch it off and on. Boots up OK.
So I _always_ have to switch on my computer twice to make it work normally...
Do you have any idea what can cause this?
BIOS: 3.6
CPU: AMD Palo XP1900+
RAM: 256MB 133MHz SDRAM
VGA: 3DConnect ATI Radeon 9200 w/ 128MB DDR (brand new)
Though, my PC is working fine after the second start...
Any advice would be appreciated..
Robbie

I guess it's a 9200SE (128MB DDR). I plugged it into an Intel Desktop Board and it worked fine. no complains at all. I am really sorry though that some one else is having the same problem.
waj_uk: It has nothing to do with the RESET button. pressing it does NOT solve anything. I have to switch off (or unplug the power cord:-) the board.
Fredrik Åsenius: I've already set the BIOS up to use the AGP slot primarily at booting...
The card is seated properly. There is a little 'thing' at the end of the AGP slot which fixes the card upon plugging in. That 'thing' has to be pushed to release the card.
Maybe I should try to downgrade my BIOS to check whether that solves the problem...

IBM T60 video driver ATI Radeon problem

Hi Team, Please Help, I have IBM T60 Upgraded on Win7 OS, and I have problem on installing the Video Driver.I already install the driver from the lenovo support site (ATI Display Driver Windows Vista 32/64 bit). The installation was succesful, i can see it on the Program and Features List. But on the Device Manager, Display Adapter still the standard display adapter is installed and there is no changes on my divice. The Aero display on windows 7 still does not work.. Please Help.. Thanks

ATI Radeon 9000 with a K7T Turbo2

I have a K7T Turbo2 running AMD XP 2100+.
I had a Asus GeForce4 MX 440 with 8xAGP 64MB. Then swapped it out for a MS ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB. I installed it, after the installation, it rebooted, then after the Windows XP Home Edition screen, it blacks out. ;( Can anybody tell me why? I tried even the ATI driver too, and same thing. My board handles the max of 4xAGP. Could that be it? Either driver I use, I get the same result. Can someone help me? ) Thanks.

can you access XP in safe mode? It could be the refresh rate set itself too high. Try going into the display control panel and setting it back to the minimum settings at 60hz, reboot, and it should be fine if that is the problem.

How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
The Background/history
I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8. I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit. The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in....
The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black.... in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
The problem, re-emphasized : I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files? not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run... Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe" - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/ for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something? if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean? it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this? just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600? (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pix

Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pixels
I have a Macro 8 core purchased just 4 months ago with the ATI Radeon HD 2600. Just started getting what looks like electrical interference or flickering pixels all over the screen. It gets worse and worse to the point where i see and cant work then clears up for an hour and then comes back.
If I change the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1600x1200 everything looks fine and the problem goes away.
Monitor works fine on two other computers, driver is up to date.
Would like to upgrade at some point just disappointed that I’m already having problems.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, in the mean time I’ll searching the forums.
Thanks,

When you called Applecare or went to a Genius bar were they of no help?

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

Problem between a Mac Pro / 01-2007 and ATI Radeon X1900XT

Hello,
My friend has bought a second hand ATI Radeon X1900XT with a fan Zalmann Fatality VC-ZV9 and has the following problems. She can switch on her computer without any problem and the card works fine (Photoshop, ...) As soon as she launches Secondlife client, the screen gets black few minutes after, and if she tries to switch off and on the screen, it says "No signal" anologic or digital. This card is reported to work very well with Secondlife. It can't be overheat, since it comes very quickly, and just after the crash, she can touch the card which is not hot. The fan works fine. How can I investigate to find out what goes wrong with this card ? Her computer is a Mac Pro bought in January 2007 with 3 Gb RAM and Leopard. The problems has occured before 10.5.3 version of Leopard was installed. I've made a test of the Video Memory with Techtool Deluxe and it didn't find any problem.
Thank you

I think I'm having a similar problem: running a Mac Pro/ATI Radeon X1900XT. Was having issues with general artifacts that seemed to come and go randomly. The machine got very hot one day when the AC was not on and the office was closed: random artifact "pixel dots" became lines on the screen, and then the entire screen just went black.
I had to do a hard shut down, and it's happened several times since. When I pulled the ATI card out, there was considerable dust built up at the intake which I cleaned out. It hasn't blacked out again, but the artifacts remain on the screen.
I suspect the card is about to die, but was trying to see if anyone else had this experience? Also, if anyone recommends replacing it with the same card, or if there is a better recommendation? I do general design and photo editing, no gaming and nothing very intense.
Thanks for the help!!

I have a 27" Viewsonic 1080p monitor connected to an oldish Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics card. The problem is that the image does not fill the screen?!?!?

I know the image can fill the monitor, because at start up, the white Apple logo screen fills it up. But once the system starts up, there are bands of black framing the image. I have searched extensively on the internet and found the following clues, none of which solved the problem:
1) In the Windows world you can get software from ATI called Catalyst Converter that gives you the cpaobility to scale the image. This software/feature is not available for Mac users.
2) Viewsonic's web site has a trouble shooting tool. This came up in response to the topic "you have recently upgraded to a larger monitor"
"This could be an issue if you have an older Apple using the system's onboard memory to support both the system and video display. Even if you have enough onboard RAM to support a higher resolution, it will not since the system will use some of the memory. Because the true video RAM available is much smaller than the total onboard amount, the system limits the size of the image. You will need to contact Apple to get an upgrade in onboard RAM or update the complete system."
I have 2GB of RAM, so lack of RAM memory does not seem to be an issue. I am running OS 10.6.8
Does anyone have any clue how to solve this problem. It is frustrating to have a 27" monitor behaving like a 25" monitor.
Thanks in advance for sharing any experience on this.

Did you try Apple Hardware Test by extended testing?
I suppose graphic card is something wrong.

ATI Radeon 9600 and PowerMac G4 QuickSilver - problem

Hi guys!
Sorry for the big amount of posts but I have yet another problem.
Yesterday I replaced the stock Nvidia GeForce2 MX in my QuickSilver with an OEM ATI Radeon 9600 128MB from my G5. I taped the pins 3 and 11 and the card worked immediately.
After using the Mac a bit, I noticed that the graphic performances are pretty much exactly the same as before. I installed Leopard and I got the translucent menubar, but the graphic performances are terrible (seems exactly as bad as the GeForce).
Does anyone have the same issue? Here is a screenshot from System Profiler in both Tiger and Leopard:
And here are some Xbench scores (the same card in the G5 scored about 121 points):

The DP800 shoild help, especiall the 1 MB L3 per CPU, but the Bus speed is still a bottleneck.
Overall, the Geekbench scores almost doubled, from 372 on the 733, to 670 on the DP800, which was mostly CPU not Graphics improvement, but you should see some.
I only have Xbench results for my QS2001 with upgraded CPUs to 1.47 DP/7455s & an MX2 it seems...

Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)! Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do. (Also have its big brother Pismo running Tiger, which is still an extremely competent machine.) When I take them out of their cases, I'm still amazed at the G3's build quality.

Nimestä päätellen oletan että oot varmaan suomesta
Eli suomeksi sanottuna osnavi sanoo että ongelma voi johtua liian heikkotehoisesta virtalähteestä, sitä ei voi säätää tehokkaammaksi mistään biosista vaan jos se on alitehoinen pitää hommata uusi tehokkaampi virtalähde. Eli nuo arvot löytyy todennäköisesti sen virtalähteen kupeessa olevasta tarrasta. Se 12 volttia pitäisi olla vähintään 12 amppeeria että se riittäisi kunnolla radeonin näytönohjaimelle. Yleensä 300 wattinen poweri on riittävä, eli siinä tarrassa pitäisi olla maininta ainakin siitä kokonaistehosta, esim total output 300w tai jotain vastaavaa. Vika voi aivan hyvin olla jossain muuallakin, mutta yleensä täällä aina ensimmäiseksi syylliseksi arvellaan virtalähdettä, itselläni kyllä toisessa koneessa radeon 9200se näytönohjain toimii vaikka virtalähde on vain 200 wattinen. Niin ja muuten... eikö olisi helpompaa kysyä neuvoa ensin joltain suomenkieliseltä sivustolta

ATI Radeon 4870 Graphic Card - Minor Problems with Icon View

I have a MacPro 2,1 (early 2007)... Recently upgrade graphic card from ATI Radeon X1900 to ATI Radeon 4870... Works fine, except when viewing files in "icon view"... The icons are "fuzzy-like" some pixels are missing... This is seen in any size icon... small or large... or views no problem... cover view, list view, or column view...Does anyone have a working solution for this problem in icon view... Thanks

If ATi didn't specify the card you bought is designed for your Mac, then it's strictly the PC version and is incompatible with OS X. It may work correctly in Bootcamp for Windows, but not for OS X.
Your best option would be to return the 4350 and purchase a "designed for Mac" video card by ATi or nVidia cards offered on the Apple online store.

P4MAM2-V & ATi Radeon 9250 PCI problem.....

I am installling ATi Radeon 9250 256Mb PCI video card onto the P4MAM2-V (MS-7095) motherboard.
Somehow, the motherboard cannot detect the VGA card. At first I though the PCI slot problem. Try other cards into all PCI slots- soundcard, modem - all work fine. The video card was taken from my old PC and was working fine. I went into BIOS and change VGA preference from AGP to PCI. Still the motherboard don't detect the VGA card.
Please somebody, help me.
Thanks.
