K7T266 Pro2 and ATI Radeon 7500?

Ok, first off, I have been in the technical field for about 12 years, so there is no need to "dumb down" your responses...
All right. I've got the above board, and it has been working fine up until I bought a new ATI Radeon 7500 vid card. I shut down the computer, disconnected the power supply, and removed my old vid card (which, btw, was working fine, but it was an 8MB old card). Then I installed the new vid card and restarted the computer. At this point, it promptly refused to even post. The monitor light flashed as if it were in standby, and there were no sounds from the board. Everything is still recieving power, so that's not the problem. The "D-bracket" showed 1-Red, 2-Green, 3 and 4-Red. Now this says that there is something wrong with the memory (?). Switched RAM chips, then the d-bracket shows all red = CPU problems? So, I shut it down and waited for a bit. Restarted it again, and the same lighting on the d-bracket, with 1,3,4-Red, and 2-Green. Now the motherboard repeatedly emits 3 fast beeps, then a pause, then 3 fast beeps, etc.. So, I put in the old video card, and the same thing occurred, in a RANDOM order. So, keeping in mind that NOTHING other than the vid card was removed OR touched before the problem occurred. RANDOM errors are NOT the way to run technical items. RANDOM problems are meant for EXPERIMENTAL items...
I would really hate to have to send in my motherboard to MSI to get it fixed (on warranty), because my business RELIES on my ability to access my computer, and 3 months computer-less is unacceptable. If there is not some LOGICAL thing that may be wrong, I will have to simply go out and buy another new motherboard. Unfortunate as it is, I am afraid that it will NOT be an MSI, because all I have ever had is problems with this board, and the lack of technical support is a real problem.
Any ideas will be tried, and I will post results as soon as I see the suggestion. Thanks.

well if you can and I know I would take the ATI card back and get a refund and by a nvidia I got a $250 ATI AIW setting on my file cabnet as a paper wait
one other thing you could try if you have one a old PCI video card remove the ATi card put a PCi video card in and try to boot useing it if that works go into bios setup and under advanced chipset settings make sure all the agp settings are set to auto I know I had this problem before I had the AGP driver setting set manule to a setting that would not work with my video card and clearing cmos would not reset this setting to auto.
I had to use a old pci card to boot so I could reset this to auto.

    Does the MS-6341 K7-Master support "GART" and what is "GART"

    I returned my Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4600 PNY Verto back to PNY last year, after I had it for a few months, and it kept crashing at AGP 4x. They sent me a new one, I tried it at 4x, with the latest Nvidia Detonator drivers, I have tried it under fresh installs of Windows 2000 SP3, and WindowsXP, both crashing when the card is set to 4x. I believe there is major bugs in this board and it does not truly support AGP 4x. I am goin to try and RMA my board back to MSI, demanding a board that can support my card, or a suitable replacement that will support my current CPU and memory. This is the first MB I ever bought from MSI, and depending on how they resolve this situation, it will probably be the last. This is the 10th machine I have built on my own, I have just not had to time to deal with this issue, and have dealt with it at AGP 2x, but it is slow as hell, especially with games like Battlefield 1942.

    The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card.  I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

    Unfortunately no.  The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

  • Photoshop CS3 and ATI Radeon 2600XT  Graphics ERRORS

    I am Running photoshop CS3 on a mac pro 2.8GHz 8-core with and ATI Radeon 2600XT graphics card. On any size file, from a small jpeg to an enormous tif, any time I pan around the image, the monitor will repeat a section of the image over and over to fill the screen. That is to say, panning vertically will fill the screen with copies of a random horizontal section of the image (20pixels wide or so). The effect goes away as soon as I perform another action that affects the entire image (zoom, action undo, create new layer, etc.). I have updated photoshop and osx with all available software and firmware updates.
    An example of what this looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26107441@N02/2450960322/

    I am running the same Mac hardware with a Mitsubishi 2060u, 1600x1200, 85Hz (CRT). I am having no such issues with PS CS3. I tried the monitor at 60Hz as well which also worked fine.
    Do you have all the latest updates installed including the 2600 firmware update?

  • Hello !, can i install Mac OSX Lion to my PC (not mac)  i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?

    Hello Guys
    i want to install MacOSX to my pc
    i heard something about that (like OSX86 project ?)
    i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?
    please answer .......

    Teknus...  Here's the issue.  For starters, I understand software licensing issues may not be interpreted the same in all countries (although they are still applicable).  I also understand that everyone is not familiar with what software licensing is.  It is technically possible to install OS X on a PC (as you have seen on your friends computer).  However, Apple has designed OS X to only work on Macs.  In order to get OS X to work on a PC, it must be modified ("hacked").  As these forums are owned by Apple, we are not permitted to provide you with instructions on how to hack their OS.
    Having said that, I have used OS X on PCs.  It is not a pleasant experience at all.  The experience is actually poor enough on a PC that I would not even use it... opting for Windows or Linux instead.  You're simply sacrificing too much of the true OS X experience when you try to run it on standard PC hardware.  If you want to try  a different operating system, give Linux a try.  There are many free versions out there and they will run on just about any PC.  The forums are also very helpful.  Linux is much more similar to OS X than Windows.
    I understand that Macs are expensive and that you would like to use OS X on a PC.  The simple fact is that using it on a PC would not be the same as using it on a Mac.

  • 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!!

  • Win 8.1 and ATI Radeon 3650

    Is there a driver for Win 8.1 which allows to use the switchable graphics function?
    After installing Win 8.1 I just can use the onboard graphic card. The only driver I found is made for Win 7 and doesn't work. A driver for ATI Radeon 3650 is installed but the device manager detects an error.
    Thanks a lot for any help

    Hi Noah,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that you had difficulties in finding ATI Radeon drivers for your Lenovo ThinkPad after upgrading to Windows 8.1.
    Check in the BIOS under Config > Display if there is an option for switchable graphics.
    If you cannot find related drivers in Lenovo Support page, try running the AMD Driver Autodetect application which will auto detect the drivers and update it to the latest version that is compatible with your current operating system.
    Hope this helps!

  • Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT and ATI Radeon X1900 XT

    I have a Mac Pro 2,1 running 10.6.1 and BootCamp.
    I had a Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT video card in it and it ran well under BootCamp.
    I installed a ATI Radeon X1900 XT.
    Under BootCamp the 2 cards seem incompatible, with an error message that the driver on the Nvidia card has been disables due to an incompatibility with the other card.
    Is there a solution for this?
    If I wanted 2 cards inside would they both need to be the ATI's or Nvidia's?
    Thanks

    Hi I would maybe get a Apple Upgrade Kit the GT 120 is 512MB's & dose not use all 16 lanes as it like to make you think & will work on 2006 Mac Pro's at $149.00 I would say if you just want more displays get two & eBay your old cards.

  • Question about Parallels and ATI Radeon 5770

    Ok, so I have a Mac Pro 3,1 here. I'm upgrading it to 16GB and two 7200 RPM 3TB drives which I'll run in Raid 0.
    It has an ATI 2600HD with 256MB VRAM.  This card has two DVI ports.
    I just purchased an ATI Radeon 5770.  I will use it with two Cinema Displays (DVI connections).
    To connect the second display, I have the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter at Firmware 1.03.
    My question concerns Parallels 8.
    My Windows 7 VM will be a heavy-use VM so I want snappy performance.  I was planning to dedicate 8GB RAM, half my CPU cores to it, and 512MB VRAM on the 5770.
    What I was wondering about was the possibility of leaving in the 2600 HD and using its GPU to support my Parallels VM.  Is that feasible?  Practical?
    Thanks

    Dump the 2600XT (put it on the shelf, don't use it)
    Install Windows natively first, then you can use it both ways, natively and dual boot, plus in a VM when that works.
    Another option is 10.8.2 supports more Nvidia cards and more then the 1GB.
    Don't use green 3TB in an array.

  • Question about freeze and ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT

    Hi,
    I have an aluminum 20-inch iMac 7.1 OSX 2.0Ghz intel Core 2Duo, mid 2007 running SL 10.6.8.
    Some months ago it started having a random freeze problem that happened sporadically and then increased to happen from around 20min in 20min.
    -mouse moves but nothing happens and I have to shut it down on power button.
    After extensive troubleshooting not working I took it to repair, they tested my hardware and said it was perfect so at the end I did a clean install,ran repair permissions and brought my documents from my back up without using time machine nor migration assistant and installed all my apps from scratch.
    It got much better, and first I thought it was a problem with Little Snitch app so I uninstalled it.
    Also I had noticed that while using latest versions of Firefox the graphic display would have a strange glitch, such as brief instances of pixel artifacts that can also appear on my display when out of the browser.
    - I turned off hardware acceleration on the browser's preferences and it seemed to disappear.
    Although this freeze is still happening, specially when I wake up the mac from sleep and yesterday I got a black screen.
    I think I may have a problem related to my ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT and I would like to ask if anyone here has a similar problem or if anyone knows about a fix .
    I tried to update the ATi from apple’s site but the update’s installer said I don’t need the update.

    Hi
    @dmaude and George, thank you both I am glad there are more people now coming forward with this problem.
    George, I believe you are right, I came to that conclusion several months ago, it is a problem with the GPU and my ATI RadeonHD 2400 and something wrong with the driver, maybe a kernel extension.
    And I came to that conclusion when I noticed that if I turned off Firefox "hardware accelaration" the browsers prefs would not freeze but it happens with,e.g. Photoshop, when I use tools that pull from the GPU.
    I am going to read the link you left here.thanks
    dmaude: I installed Techtools and Diskwarrior, and now ran it periodically after my radical clean install where I brought all my files manually without using time machine nor migration assistant and installed all my apps from scratch.
    I am a web artist thus I am not even using much of my 250GB, I have 200GB free and 3GB memory.
    No bad blocks, no problems with fans nor temperature, I download all updates, absolutely nothing.
    It is a virtual freeze and I am almost sure it started with snow leopard 10.6.3 update.
    What I did though that seems to alleviate the problem was to install this tiny program/app called "caffeine" that stops my imac from entering sleep and so I still get the freeze but it happens less times. I leave here the link, maybe it helps you because I got so tired of this problem that I did not even want to upgrade to Lion.
    http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/
    I filed many bug reports to Apple, no response. I found a link from 2007 related to something similar and where Apple finally confirmed it was their bug, as stated there:
    "Apple technical support has already confirmed the issue with several users, according to the threads, and the problem reportedly has been narrowed to the ATI Radeon HD cards inside the iMac."

  • Having trouble with my G4 MDD 867MHz DP and ATi Radeon 9800 Pro video card.

    I just recently purchased the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro Mac edition card on ebay. I installed the card on my G4 and turned it on thinking everything would work with no problems, but when I turned it on the grey apple screen came up fine and then it changed to a sky-blue screen with nothing on it and remained on that screen. My desktop or any of my apps did not load up at all. I reset the PRAM and the NVRAM as the seller I bought the card from instructed me to and still I get the same result. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I was wondering if my monitor was the problem because I'm using a Dell LCD monitor as the display for right now? I need help! I'm trying to get this up and running so I can start editing. Whatever information anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated!

    Sometimes display cards that support multiple displays (or a second display card in the same Mac) can cause the display you are using to be the SECOND display in a multiple-display "extended desktop".
    When this happens, the MenuBar and cursor may be drawn perfectly, but be on the "other" screen, and it is very difficult to determine what has happened. \[This problem is sometimes caused by inadvertently leaving an adapter or cable on an unused display port.]
    Try moving the mouse many times to the right to see if the cursor suddenly transitions onto your screen, then try the same experiment to the left.
