Radeon 9200 graphic card on MSI KT6V-LSR mainboard crashing

My problem is as follows: I'm running my KT600 mainboard (MSI KT6V-LSR) with a Radeon 7000 graphic card without any problems at all. However, when trying to upgrade to Radeon 9200, the machine crashes right after login in Windows XP and I actually have to remove the mainboard battery to be able to start it again. I'm using the latest Catalyst drivers (5.11). It works fine in safe mode and in vga mode. Any obvious solution on this anyone?

sounds a bit extreme. does your system have a reset button?
No, just a power button. However, no response on it after a crash like this.
Quote from: Dr Stu on 14-November-05, 04:30:20
have you tried uninstalling the Catalyst drivers in Safe Mode and then rebooting, then reinstall drivers once windows has loaded?
I have uninstalling/installing the drivers a couple of times yes.
Quote from: Dr Stu on 14-November-05, 04:30:20
lastly, Is your problem caused by your PSU? please provide your PSU specs in case that is the cause of your woes...
My PSU is a 350Watt powersupply. The case actually prevent me to see the brand of it, so this is all I know. BTW, the Radeon 9200 card is running perfectly fine on another mainboard I have (asus), so I guess the graphic card is fine.

  • Mac Pro & ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card

    I just bought a new Mac Pro but upon set-up I realized that I couldn't use my existing Apple monitor that has a ADC connection. I would have to buy the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter. Instead of doing this, could I take the ATI Radeon 9200 out of my old Quicksilver and put it in the new Mac Pro? This older video card has the right kind of connection that I need for this monitor. I could put it in and try but thought I would ask before I did just in case it is not compatible.

    The Apple adapter will work for a LCD with ADC, but not for a CRT.

    There are no ADC graphics cards that will work in a Mac Pro.

  • ATi Radeon 9200 Graphics card??

    I'm looking into getting the ATI radeon 9200 128mb for my old Power Mac G4 dual 500 gigabit ethernet, however I am a little confused. I'm pretty sure the card is PCI, and of course my Power Mac is AGP, 2x I believe. Does this mean that it is not compatible with my Power Mac? If it is, would I have to install it on a pci slot instead of the AGP slot? Would the performance suffer because of this? Thanks.
    -Aaron

    You will notice a big difference between the 9200 PCI card and the 9800 AGP.
    The 9800 is a lot better than the 9200 series to start with and there is also a big difference between the AGP and PCI bus.
    Just bear in mind that the 9800 comes with a molex power cable so that it can be plugged into a hard drive power source. They do suck a bit more juice and can cause problems with smaller PSUs like the Sawtooths have.

  • PCI-E 2.1 X16 Graphics card on MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard

    Hi,
    I recently bought an AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card to upgrade my aging machine. The card is a PCI-E 2.1 X16 card and unfortunately does not work with my current motherboard.
    I was recently looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard as a possible replacement that would work with my new graphics card. In the specs the board is said to have 1 PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot. I just wanted to check if this board will work with the card or not?
    Any help on this front would be much appreciated. I am a uni student with limited funds from a part time job and, as a result, I can't afford to spend money just to find it doesn't work again.
    Thanks in advance for your help   

    Thanks for your reply Whilst I acknowledge I don't have that much time for gaming, once in a while isn't going to hurt and I do need to relax sometimes 
    I've already bought the HD6870, so choice of card isn't the issue. I have a 700w PSU which I have tested using a friend's old board with the new HD6870 card and it worked fine, so I definitely know that the PSU is fine and that the card works. I have a foxconn A7VMX-K at the moment and updated to the latest bios to see if that sorted the issue. However this didn't work.
    I am now in the market for a new board and was looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD board. It says it has a PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot on the specs of the seller's site and on most other sites. On some it just says that it is version 2.0 compliant, which is a bit confusing. I just wondered if anyone could tell me whether the HD6870 (PCI-E 2.1 X16) would work on this board (PCI-E 2.0 X16)? Many thanks

  • MB MSI KT6V-LSR & VGA ASUS V7100pro compatibility

    Hi all,
    I'm about to buy myself the MSI KT6V-LSR motherboard. In the specs it is written that the AGP slot supports 1.5 volt video cards. The problem is that my VGA card is an old one - Asus V7100 pro (geforce2 mx400, 64MB) which is a 3.3 volt card. I can't afford to get a new video card right now  
    Could you tell me if this combination is going to work at all?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, I've bought the mb and now the pc runs with no problems at all, no compatibility issues. The VGA driver is the standard Forceware 61.67 (not very sure about the version).
    Great mobo btw - easy to install, well designed, lots of features
    I didn't like the Core Cell software, in the left it displays only the FSB, for the others N/A is shown. When I increase the FSB in this program the system hangs (winXP). If I do the same in BIOS, it works ok... I think I'll uninstall the program.
    The CPU in an old Duron Spitfire 600 MHz (6*100FSB), which used to go upto 850MHz by changing the multiplier (changing the FSB did't work) on the old motherboard. With this mobo it does 133MHz FSB with no problems - now running at 6*133.

  • Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

    Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give.  I'm at a loss at the moment.  Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop.  I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time).  The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.  
    I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one.  When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
    From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
    But what if it doesn't.  Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
    Any suggestions?  Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
    Appreciate any assistance, guys.
    Nervous in PA.

    Hi,
    I see two possibilities.
    The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
    The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
    Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps.  If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

  • Firefox won't redraw on analog monitor driven by Radeon 4350 graphics card

    I'm running two XP SP3 on a reasonably current desktop with 4 GB and an ASUS Radeon 4350 graphics card with 512MB. The card drives two Samsung SyncMaster 2443 monitors, one from analog RGB port, the other from a DVI port. I've been using Firefox since v.3, but sometime around v.8 or v.9, it began to have problems when ever I had a Firefox window open on the analog video port. (I'm current with v.27.0.1)
    The window 'appeared' to freeze - clicks, scrolling and the like failed to produce a re-drawing of the window's content. However, if I dragged the window over to the other monitor running off the DVI port, the Firefox window would re-draw itself with the new content. This behaviour told me two things. On the analog port the Firefox window was still alive, and responding to keyboard and mouse inputs, but not displaying the results. Secondly, the problem was related to the Firefox - RGB interface. Oh! I forgot to mention: Firefox was the only application exhibiting this behaviour.
    A support session with ASUS produced no solution. After searching several related Mozilla support issues, on a problem closely related to mine someone suggested turning off the hardware accelerator, and re-starting Firefox (Tools > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"), which I did. Poof! Problem solved, case closed. Except, Why?
    Is this just because of my hardware setup? Or Firefox - I generally have 6 to 10 windows open at a time, some with several dozen tabs (I'm a software architect, so tend to keep a lot of context on the desktop). I'm glad I can scroll Firefox now on my other monitor, and click buttons and be able to read the response, but I think there's a defect here somewhere...

    I think it has something to do with the acceleration compatibility of many type of graphics cards.
    "Unfortunately, due to the wide range of possible driver, video card and operating system combinations, hardware acceleration or 3D web graphics (WebGL) may still not work for you in Firefox. In these instances you fix the problems by disabling hardware acceleration and WebGL. "

  • HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II vs MSI KT6V-LSR: How to install?

    Hi everybody,
    Ok, i will try to explain the problem with my bad english, so please dont laugh!
    I have two modeboards, the MSI KT6V-LSR and ASUS A8N-SLI SE, recently i acquired the HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II for the ASUS, and it works perfectly. So i needed to install this HD SATA II in the KT6V-LSR and i followed some proceedings first:
    *The HD already had the XP SP2 installed using the ASUS one
    1_i placed the jumper and the HD changed to 150
    2_i pluged the data cable in the right conector and the power cable (i tryed in both channels, but only in one the hd is reconized)
    3_removed the ide pata 40gb (samsung too)
    4_Enabled ide sata in bios
    5_configured to boot using hd sata
    The system rebooted always just after the bios scrreenies. Strange, the HD PATA worked, came from the asus too! So i decided to format this HD sata. Like always i followed this steps: 
    * My XP cd dont have service packs and boot system
    1_i used a floppy with WINME boot + smartdrive
    2_delete partition, create and set active
    *3_format c:
    4_f:cd i386
    5_f:i386\winnt
    *Other strange thing, the formatting time just take a few seconds unlike the several minutes that normaly takes.
    I started to install the XP anyway, and after the copy of files from cd to hd, during the first boot appears a blue screen, and the messages are relationed to the new HD, so the installation stop. I tryed several times but the same thing happened.
    The HD sata is reconized in the windows, shows patitions, i transfered 13gb from it to the hd PATA, but i had to boot using the PATA one. I want to use this HD SATA like master, bootable, not like slave.
    How to install it, how to format it properly?
    I hope that my confusing explainations are sufficient to you understand the problem.
    Some help please!
    And thank you very much

    This being really difficult to explain the problem with my so bad English. I go to try to use a translator online, ok?
    I use the floppy of boot of the WIN ME, is through it that I obtain to define the partitions, to format hd, and to install the XP. I always made this and always it functioned, also with this HD SATA II samsung 250GB, but only using motherboard ASUS A8N-SLI IF. But when I go to make these procedures using the KT6V-LSR, I do not obtain to format hd right and I do not obtain to install the XP. Then the problem happens before installing the XP, during the formatting. So i want to use only de hd sata, not the HD PATA.
    Another thing, I read in one fórum of my country that the KTV6-LSR can damage and even though to “kill” the hd sata. This is really?

  • ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card Windows 8 driver missing

    I just installed Windows 8 Enterprise Trial version on HP nx9420 laptop (2GHz dual core prosessor, 4gb memory, ATI Motility Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256mb own memory, 1680x1050 native display resolution) on second partition, side by side with existing
    Windows 7. 
    Installation succeeded perfect, except Windows 8 couldn't install, nor did find from Windows Update display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card. Only Microsoft generic display driver was installed and it offered maximum 1450x800 resolution,
    so not laptops native 1680x1050 screen resolution. 
    Windows 7 can install working ATI driver right from Windows Update for that graphics card (version 8.561.0.0 dated 1.12.2008). 
    Laptop manufacturer HP has latest, old driver for Vista (version 8.453.0.0 dated 22.1.2008), so I installed that, selecting compatibility mode Vista with setup-program in Windows 8. That installed, but seems to have some problems, telling of missing library,
    maybe with some ATI extra diplay manager software and C++ 2005 library, that it installed. 
    MY QUESTION: Is there some problems with Windows 8 and that ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card? Why isn't the Windows 7 -version of ATI mobility radeon X1600 display driver available in Windows Update for Windows 8 too? 

    Thank you all of your thanks. 
    I can confirm that this solution works with Windows 10 Technology/Insider preview too. And surely works with forthcoming Windows RTM too. 
    Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TP work both like a charm with nearly 10 years old HP Compaq nx9420 laptop, with Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display adapter. Nice co-operation of "old" hardware and very Modern Windows OS.
    So in brief:
    If you have laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or other X1000-series display adapter and
    you want to install Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, do this:
    0) First just install Windows 8.x/10. It will install Microsoft Generic display driver, but that doesn't support full resolution of ATI Mobility Radeon X1000 -series - for example it may show maximum 1400x1050 -resolution, thus your laptop display and Radeon
    X1000 may support native 1650x1050, but you can't obtain that resolution with that Microsoft generic driver. So you need ATI-driver and you can get it this way: 
    1) With Internet Explorer (this doesn't work with other browsers) go to
    Microsoft Update -catalog:   http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/
    2) Search "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600"
      (or X1300, X1800 etc)
    3) Sort search results by date (last update -column), latest on top. You will see drivers for Windows 7
    - they will work with Windows 8.x and 10 too. There is certainly two of them; other is 32 bit only and other is 64 bit dirver.
    4) Select proper driver version of them, according your Windows 32 or 64 bit, so click Add
    5) At top-right click Show basket and then download those driver packages to your computer. They are cab-file
    -packages. 
    6) Obtain 7-zip -utility, install it and with it unpack that cab-driver package on folder with its package-name.
    7) On start of taskbar, right mouse button click Windows-Start and then select Hardware management. On
    Hardware management -window open Display adapter -section, then mouse right click Microsoft adapter and select Update driver. Then on next window, select search driver from computer. 
    8) Browse on folder, where you unpacked ATI driver (on stage 6 earlier) and select Next ... that updates
    driver, on the go and you don't need even to reboot Windows. 
    9) Now you have proper ATI Mobility Radeon -driver in use. It  surely sets automatically resolution
    according your laptop screen (so recommended native resolution of screen panel) or you can select that on diplay settings. 
    Extra: For that Windows 8.x/10 boot works fine too, do this too: 
    Seems that Windows 8.x (and Windows 10 too), with their hybrid-shutdown -functionality, require some support of the display adapter, that ATI Radeon Mobility x1000 -series don't have. 
    So the solution is to disable that Windows 8.x (or Windows 10) hybrid boot -functionality (that is quicker boot) and to use "normal boot". 
    You can fix that this way:
    - at end of Taskbar click battery/power icon and select Power settings
    - navigate to power and sleep settings
    - either at bottom of those settings, or in Win10 more power settings, select power buttons functionality/settings (so what power button, sleep button or closing laptop screen does)
    - at bottom of those settings is shutdown options (or with similar name). uncheck "use quick boot" -settings (for to uncheck that you may need to click first upper "changing disabled settings" (or similar name) at top or windows) 
    (I recommend to check Hibernate at the same time too, because that is usefull)
    - then Save settings and reboot Windows and you have got rid of that problem that Windows 8.x/10 don't show Lock screen, now it does.
    Boot takes just a little longer, so practically no problem. And if you need quicker boot with laptop, use Hibernate-state, so don't shut down your laptop, but instead put it into Hibernate-state (that is better than Sleep mode, because Hibernate-mode doesn't
    consume battery-power, like Sleep-mode does)

AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site?

    The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
    1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
    2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
    3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
    4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
    5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
    6) Once the mac is started up.
    7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
    8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
    I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
    I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
    I hope this helps.
