PowerMac G5 2.0 dual processor video Card installation

I installed a Radeon7000 64M DDR AGP VGA/TVO/DVI-I card in my powerMac G5 2.0 dual processor.  I starts up with both screens fine, but freezes immediatley on startup.  I started up in Safe Mode and it was fine.  I repaired my permissions then Zapped the pram and it will start up fine and even got to adjust dual displays before it froze.  It will not start up and operate correctly.  I know Mac has the drive in its operating system. I am just frustrated because all I wanted to do was used an extra VGA screen that I have and the installed card only had one DVI and an Apple screen conector that I cannot get an adapter to VGA for.

Hello, are you sure that card can support 2 monitors your size?
I don't think that card suports core video or maybe even quartz, both essential for 10.5.x, but disabled in Safe Mode.
BTW, not sure what adapter is...

    Any suggestions for dual dvi video cards that will fit the Elite 8000 SFF?
    Thank you,

    Hi:
    The standard card is the Radeon HD 6350.

  • What is causing a PowerMac G5/2.3GHz Dual Processor sudden abrupt shutdowns

    Hi all
    I am posting in hope that someone out there can help me solve this very puzzling problem.
    The machine: A PowerMac dual processor G5/2.3GHz (early 2005). 1.5G RAM. 250G HD. SuperDrive. Radeon 9650.
    The problem: When under some load, this machine will suddenly and abruptly shutdown as though someone pulled the power cord. There is no warning. Just a soft click, and it powers off. The machine can be manually restarted after the sudden shutdown with no problems.
    This problem is very replicable. (eg go to a particular website, play an embedded video, and boom, the machine shutsdown. Each and every time.) It was replicated at an Apple Store and at two Apple Authorized Service Providers.
    System.log said "PMU forced shutdown, cause = -122"
    Before the sudden shutdown, the machine seemed to be operating normally. The fans did not noticeably speed up. Activity Monitor showed no more than 50% CPU activity for each CPU. Temperature on both CPU was around at 70C before the sudden shutdown. Temperature and activity on both CPU goes up and down in tendem.
    If I use the Energy Saver system preference to change "Processor performance" to "Reduced", the problem goes away. (As measured by going to the same website and playing the same video. Even playing 5 videos simultaneously did not cause a sudden shutdown.)
    What have I done #1: I have reformat the hard drive with a 7-pass security wipe, followed by a clean-install of Tiger which was then brought up-to-date using Software Update. I then installed Safari 4.0.3. No other software is on the machine except Tiger and Safari. (Later installed Hardware Monitor to get me a handle on the temperatures.) The problem persisted.
    What have I done #2: I then installed a new PRAM battery and reset PMU using the switch on the motherboard. Resetting the PMU also resetted the PRAM. The problem persisted.
    What have I done #3: I then took the machine to an Apple Store. They found that they can replicate the problem easily. But, after 3 days of running the Apple Service Diagnostic, the diagnostic software didn't find any problem. They also did a thermal re-calibration. That didn't help either. Without an error code from the diagnostic software, the only "solution" the Apple Genius offered was to start swapping CPU, power supply and mother board at my expense. And even then, he has no idea which component to start swapping first. (Two independent Apple Authorized Service Providers offered the same non-diagnosis and roughly the same "solution".)
    Has anyone encountered such a problem before? What was the solution?
    How about an educated guess as to what's wrong?
    I want to, if possible, and if reasonable, repair this machine.
    Thanks in advance.

    This sounds almost exactly like the problem I have. My G5 is also an Early 05 2.3G. I tried every tip I found on the forums from UPS vs. wall socket to stock RAM vs. 3rd party to booting from external HDs, etc.. I currently have 10.5.8 on it and it's running using the "Reduced" processor setting in Energy Saver prefs.
    I have also made a trip to The Apple Store where the AS folks ran their diagnostics but were usable to replicate my problem. I understand they "can't fix it if it ain't broke".
    Aside from the "Reduced" setting work-around has ANYONE actually solved this problem definitively? Although I have no interest in spending $1000 to fix this, I can't imagine disposing of it on Ebay.
    Assuming this is a hardware issue, this would mark the first insurmountable failure of any of the 10 or so Macs I have owned.
    Anyone? Anyone?

  • Dual Radeon video card -- Second card Unknown/4th monitor

    My initial plan was to use four monitors on my Radeon HD 6790 as follows:
    1 Single-link DVI-D = monitor1 dvi
    1 Dual-link DVI-I = monitor2 dvi
    1 Display Port = monitor3 dvi with adapter
    1 HDMI = new monitor
    This did not work as I could not use the hdmi port with the second dvi plugged in so I decided to buy a second cheaper ati card (the 6450) to power the fourth monitor. Well of course that did not work as well since the 2nd video card was identified as UNKNOWN via the Ctalyst control Center(amdcccle).
    This is how I currently have my monitors plugged in:
    6790 (Main card):
      1x dvi
      1x dvi via DisplayPort
      1x hdmi
    6450 (Secondary card):
      1x dvi
    I tried for two days to get the second card identified by the Catalyst driver and I ended up borking my system in the process. So now I am on week two of getting this setup to work with no avail so I decided to post a new thread.
    Here is some relevant information that may help:

    Notice the fourth monitor is labeled as "1-Default monitor" instead of hdmi (or whatever) and the second card is not listed.
    I am literally at my wit's end trying to figure this out. So basically I am wondering if anyone has a clue where to begin trying to get the 2nd video card identified or is it even possible with the current Catalyst driver? I know my hardware can power it fine as it works perfectly on my Windows gaming partition.
    Thanks in advance

  • Dual Monitor video cards for HP Pro 3400

    I am looking to add a 2nd monitor to my HP Pro 3400 MT and want to make sure I get a video card that will not have any compatibility issues.  I'm not doing any gaming so I don't think I need anything super fancy and I would prefer not to have to upgrade the power supply.
    So my questions are:
    Is the HP Pro 3400 MT compatible witha PCI Express 3.0 card?  2.1 ?
    How much power draw from the video card would require me to upgrade the power supply (my PC is stock, no added peripherals).  Is there a way for me to determine how much is being currently (no pun intended) drawn?
    Are there any drawbacks to usnig the built-in video card for 1 monitor and a new, single-ouput card for the other (vs a dual-output card) ?
    Anything else I need to consider when deciding on a new video card?
    Thanks.

  • Which dual DVI video card for Mac Pro?

    We just got a Mac Pro at work with a single DVI port video card. Want to use 2 monitors, but don't want to order an incompatible card. Don't need screaming performance, just a stable setup for a sprawling desktop with some applications running low-res/low-frame-rate animation.
    One Evga card that looked like about the right specs was shown on MacMall's site as 'platform: universal' but the manufacturer's site specifed Windows and Vista. Called MacMall and tech support said it wasn't supported. So, now I'm suspicious.
    Anyone have a list of decent cards that will work? Would like to keep it at or under $100.

    You could just add an adapter, though not everyone is happy with that, for your 2nd port on the GT120.
    Could wait for Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 Mac Edition next month.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/EGVA/01GP31080TR/
    There is/was and should be 8800GT with nice specs and dual monitor support.
    Barefeats is a great resource of tests and benchmarks.
    This gives a good idea of what cards and what to expect:

  • Best dual DVI video card for 2009 MP running Windows

    Sorry if this question has been posted before, or if I'm in the wrong forum. I searched the Windows Compatibility forum and didn't find the answer.
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro (8 core) running Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I would like to upgrade the stock GT120 video card. I don't play games on it, but I do need to drive a pair of 24" widescreen LCD monitors at 1920x1200 or higher and extend the desktop onto the second monitor.
    I see that the 8800GT (Apple part MB137Z/A) is still available, although Apple is pushing the ATI 4870. Does anyone know which of these cards would work the best with Windows?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Hatter. I thought the video card had to have special EFI firmware in order for the Mac Pro to even recognize it as a video card (regardless of which OS's are installed).
    Are you saying that if I'm only running Windows, I can use ANY PCI-Express video card? Sweeeeeet!
    Now, for cards that ARE available in a specific Mac version (such as the GTX285 and ATI 4870), are they as well supported in Windows as they are in Mac OS (from a driver point of view)? I suppose other than the MAC-specific firmware, the graphics chipset for both versions of the card are the same, therefore the drivers should be the same.
    Thanks for your help.

  • H8-1280t and GTX 780 Video Card installation issue.

    I hope someone can give me good news with this issue as I am at the end of my rope.
    I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 780 SC video card which I am attempting to install into my h8-1280t Elite HP Desktop.  
    I have switched out the stock Power Supply that originally came with the unit and installed one that can support the necessary power requirements of the card (750W with 61A on 12V rail [Corsair ATX 750).
    This is actually the second card that I have tried and they both have the same issue.  The issue is as follows:  When the unit is powered on I can see the POST message which shows my processor, memory amount, and BIOS Revision date and version.  The unit will then proceed to beep once every 10 seconds, there will be a total of 3 beeps and the unit proceeds to a black screen where nothing happens.  I know the card is not bad as it displays the POST message just fine.  
    I have since contacted EVGA the manufacturer of the card and they have stated that this issue has something to do with UEFI BIOS.  Their card has shipped with the most recently updated UEFI BIOS located in the GTX 780, I was referred to try and ask here if there is an update to my current motherboard to bring it upto date with the latest revision of UEFI.  I have also since tried both BIOS updates on my model page the lastest having a revision date of 9-12-2012.  I would hate to think that my unit is incompatible being that I only bought it last year.  I have noticed that in my BIOS settings there is very limited UEFI boot options. so that gives me some hope.
    The following is the information about my unit to the closes detail I have found:
    Motherboard: IPIWB-PB (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03132964) 
    BIOS: 7.15 Rev. A (09-12-2012)
    Processor: Intel i7 3820 3.6ghz
    Desktop: h8-1280t (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5155...)
    Power Supply: Corsair ATX 750w
    Memory: Corsair 16gb Vengeance
    Hard Drive and CD drive are stock.
    I believe the issue lies with an outdated BIOS and hopefully HP is providing BIOS updates.
    Once again any help would be greatly appreciated!  

    Hi,
    Have you made sure that your P6 and P8 connectors are connected properly to the video card?
    If you have, and your power supply is capable of running this card, then it is possibly not compatible with this motherboard. For the greatest chance of compatibility, since your motherboard has PCIe generation 2 slot you would want to look for a video card that uses PCIe generation 2.0. While 3.0 should be backwards compatible; it is not always the case.
    Thank you.

  • AGP video card installation problem. Help!!!

    How in the WORLD am I going to get my AGP video card installed???  I can't get it close to the AGP slot before everything is in a bind.  The power cable bundle sticks out too far, and it looks like the optical drive hangs out over the AGP slot.  What did you folks do???  Please help soon.  If I can't get my AIW9700Pro installed, I might as well send it back to where I bought it.
    Glendor...

    To get mine in I cut the ties further down the board so that I could move stuff around easier.
    I was able to put 1/2 of the cables coming out of the psu over the card, the other 1/2 pressed flat against the PSU. That way it JUST fit.
    Very tight squeese but Fits ok when secured.
    Once the card is in the slot there is more room above the card to push the cables so it may work if you remove the PSU, fit the card then refit the PSU with the cables just above the AGP card.

  • Elite 8300 CMT and video card installation

    hi all,
    I just got an 8300 Elite microtower and am facing trouble installing a video card (Matrox M9140 LP PCIe x16) to replace the PC's standard issued Nvidia NVS 300, which is working fine when inserted into the same PCIe x16 slot. However when replaced by our Matrox card the motherboard doesn't even detect the card and runs on integrated graphics.
    I have tried to switch the video output to PCIe through the system BIOS but since the card is not detected that option is grayed out. And even though the system doesn't detect it I can still feel that the card is working as it heats up when the PC is on. I have tested the card on other machines and its working fine. Just not on this one.
    Could this be because the memory type of the card is DDR2 while the system is DDR3? Or is there any other compatibility issue that might prevent the card from being detected on this mainboard?

    I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage.

  • Inexpensive Dual-DVI video card for Cubase 6.5 & Adobe Premiere CS6, on Win7x64

    I need a card for both and I can't find one that is "approved" for both. Is anyone using these two programs together? I'm currently using a pair of ATI FireGL V3350 cards that, so far, play video fine in Premiere (haven't done any editing or AE yet) but not in Cubase 6. I'm not a pro so a high end card would be lost on me. An inexpensive card that can handle standard editing in Premiere with some AE, no advanced 3-D (titles only?), and will also play video in Cubase 6.5 is what I'm looking for.
    Thanks in advance

    hello, @ MD:  this should be fun:  i use Reason7
    in the general forum there is a thread about mulitple monitors
    some of the PPRO users here might get a kick out of this as well and/or have comments/advice
    here is most of it:
    CELTICDALE:
    Hi! I`ve been using 3 screens for 7-8 years on 4 different systems.
    This solution works on any system I can think of, laptop or desktop.
    Matrox TripleHead2Go (Digital Edition) (TH2Go)
    It works by splitting the signal from 1 DVI or VGA port to 3 screens.
    I just bougt a GTX690 which have 3 DVI ports, but I only use 1 with
    the TH2Go because it works perfect without any hassle. The beauty
    of it, compared to what others are suggesting, is that you can use
    this whith whatever system you have, and you don`t have to by a new
    solution (graphics card) if you upgrade. It`s external, so you can
    easily move it to another computer. There are no fans and it gets
    power from a USB port and use almost no power compared to an extra
    gfx card. I also still have to free ports from my GTX690, allowing
    me to add 2 more screens if I want.
    If you hook it up to a laptop, you can use the laptop screen + up to 3
    extra screens. I can run this on an 8 year old laptop I have, with no problems..
    People who are suggesting that DVI is getting phased out, are wrong.
    The worlds newest and fastest single GPU highend card comes with
    2 DVI ports (GTX780, and is released tomorrow)
    When I travel, it fits easily inside my laptop bag. Only thing I need
    extra is the cables and adapters to hook up to different types of ports.

    http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/pr...connect_video/
    The only way to go in my opinion...
    Good luck!
    PS. There are different models, with HDMI also, but I reccommend the
    model I linked to, as you can just go with adapter if you want to
    connect to HDMI and don`t need to send sound to the screen. In the
    rare cases I connect sound to the screen, I just use a minijack cable.
    But of cource, you know best what you need..
    hope this helps in some way, cheers, j

  • Dual DVI video card

    Have a P7-1280t - i5-2320 QUAD 3.0GHZ 6GB
    Would like to have a dual DVI setup since I have two monitors.  I had a Nvidia Qaudro card laying around...tried it but it's looking for that additional power source for the card and the powersupply doesn't have it.
    What card is compatible with my new Desktop
    Thanks

    You could just add an adapter, though not everyone is happy with that, for your 2nd port on the GT120.
    Could wait for Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 Mac Edition next month.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/EGVA/01GP31080TR/
    There is/was and should be 8800GT with nice specs and dual monitor support.
    Barefeats is a great resource of tests and benchmarks.
    This gives a good idea of what cards and what to expect:

  • P55 GD65 support dual slot video cards?

    can anyone confirm this?

    Yep, just make sure that you do not have any PCI cards on the next slot and you will have no problems fitting it in.

  • Tiger 10.4.3 fails on a powermac G4 1.4GHz dual processor Powermac

    Hi there
    one of the machines in my lab fails when I drop an image of a 10.4.3 system with all my software on it. Nobody can log in and it does not accept ssh. I was wondering if anyone has had problems with these powermacs and tiger.
    Any comments or suggestions appreciated. At the present time I have it running panther 10.3.8 again so the user can get work done.
    Will

    The restore discs are indeed hardware specific. The lab managers I've spoken with claim that the best practice is to have a separate source image for each hardware variety in the lab, failing this (you might have too many models to deal with) an install using a basic installer disc on the highest end/newest model can be used as the base image for the older/lower-end machines.
    You should be able to get the adjunct Apple software off the restore disk by either ctrl-clicking on the package file on said disc and exploring the package for what you want or by using a third-party application such as Pacifist.

  • Power Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz (late june 2004) - trouble upgrading video card

    Hi, I'd really appreciate any help. I have a PowerPC G5 Tower, dual 2.0 GHz, DVI/AGP version (June 2004 model) with 8gb ram. I recently got the Apple 30" monitor and wanted to run it along side my 20" apple monitor, so I bought the ATI Radeon 9650 dual dvi video card (ATI-G5-9650 Power Mac G5 ATI Radeon 9650 Supports 30" Display 256MB (DVI/DVI) (8X AGP) Video Card). I pulled out my previous video card from the AGP slot and inserted this one into the same slot. I turned on the machine and plugged in both monitors to the dvi ports and both screens were blank when I booted. I tried plugging in only one of the monitors, but again, just blank. Does this mean the card is bad? Did I put it in the right slot?
    Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

    I'm installed an update, not 100% if it was the correc thing to update, but it was all I could find. I went to the ATI site and downloaded the ATI Displays 4.5.7.dmg and installed that as well as the ATI 10.3.6 SW Update.dmg. This was from the ATI site at: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML
    Is there another place or something specific for the 9650 that I need to download?
    thanks
