Stable Gf4 Ti4800 se became unstable on new motherboard

My Gf4 Ti4800 se ran perfectly on my QDI kt333a motherboard, but now that I've upgraded to an asus a7n8x-8 motherboard it has colour corruption even in the bios. Letters are still present, but large blocks of text will have their colours incorrect etc. In Windows the corruption is much smaller, but still present. It is instead the size of a few pixels here and there. The colours can be corrected by highlighting the text, image, etc with the mouse then removing the highlight.
This is with the newest drivers and motherboard bios. The new motherboard works perfectly with a Radeon 9800. The old motherboard only ran the card at agp4x, where as the new one had 8x capability...as the card advertised it was capable of.
I have a Barton 2500+, not oc'd, and 1gb of ddr333 ram. Windows XP sp1. all newest drivers/bios, & fresh install.

Piezo,
The card should run at 8x, but for testing purposes lets try:
First uninstall the Video Drivers and the Mobo Drivers, then install just the nVidia 3.13 Drivers. They already have the ForceWare Drivers in then for the GeForce4 Ti card.
If that does not work, set the AGP to 4x and disable sidebanding in the BIOS.
Let us know what that does.
Take Care,
Richard

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

you can download a new installer and serial number from Adobe at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

Help needed pls!!! GF4 Ti4800 SE 8X on MSI 845 Ultra?

Hi folks,
I just purchased a GF4 Ti4800 SE 128mb 8X.
I own a MSI 845 Ultra ARU (6398), I understand this board only supports up to 4X AGP, but the GF4 card should be able to "downgrade" to work with a 4x motherboard, I hope.
Booting up is ok, but graphics start to tear on the window start-up screen. At the desktop, once i click the mouse, the desktop will hang like for 1 sec, then the monitor switch to Black screen, and then back desktop, this repeats when i click the mouse. There are also some weird colors here and there.
Can anyone pls advise?

GF4 Ti4800 SE bad peformence

I got a GF4 Ti4800 SE, and i cant get good peformance with it.
I play most Unreal Tournament and UT 2003.
My fps in Unreal Tournament is really lousy :(
A friend to me got a GF4 4600
When we are at the same spot in UT he has fps like 120 average, and i got 60....sucks imo
I have tried everything i think, Drivers, BIOS, fixing adjustments in the card etc etc........
When i did a 3Dmark2001SE test, i got poor 5178 result 8o
I would be very happy if i could get some help )
/Mania

You know, no matter what way you cut it, you 4800 (Which I have) has a 4200 engine.... there is no way that it can compare to the top of the line GF4 card, the 4600ti ... take a look for yourself.... power tweaks ect won't help.... a 8x AGP slot may help.... I get the same FPS in unreal that you do, about 60 +/- on any map... I run a ASUS MB with a AMD 2000 XP and 512 gig ram... rember this... you bought the card cauze it was a deal... and that's what you got... the human eye can only see 23-30 FPS anyway, so as long as it doesn't drop too much, I would not worry about it, wait for the top of the line FX cards to drop, and then buy that.... btw, here's that link http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce4ti.html

MSi GF4 Ti4800 temp

Hi there
Posted this in the MOBO forum, but got no reply, maybe because this is mainly a Graphics card question ! DOH !
Hope you guys can help !
As you can see in my sig, I have an MSI GF4 Ti4800 in a Neo875P PCB2 mobo. At the weekend I encountered a bit of a problem. After about 6 hours of use, with the CPU running at 100% most of the time (at 46 - 49 degrees) I started to get strange patterns scrolling vertically down the screen. I was unable to make out anything on the screen so I had to hit the reset button. When the machine had rebooted, I ran sppeedfan (v4.13) which reported the GF4 was reaching a temp of around 60 degrees ! When the temp got above 65 degrees I got the wierd patterns again.
This is the first time I've really had a long session since I installed this mobo. Everything else is quite cool - CPU (46-49 degs 100%), HD's (30-35 degs) and case (38 degs).
Is the fact that the North fan is right above the H/S on the GF card causing the card to over heat ? I've removed the fan that came with the card (I've have the card about 14 months or so) and replaced it with a Thermaltake cooper H/S and fan. This HAS made a difference, the temp has not risen above 60 degrees - but this is still really hot.
Is there anything else I can do ? Does the North bridge fan blow or suck ?
Is there much improvement (performace wise) to be had in upgrading to a FX5900 128mb card (MSI or Gainward Gold Sample) ? The MSI FX5900 XT-VTD128 has a fan at the back and front of the card, so I'm wondering if this will foul on the north bridge fan ? Anyone using one of these ?
Thanks
Fred

yea sound like a heat issue with ur ram
u will get grpahical gltches with ur ram such as white spots and also lines this is overheating id perchance a few heatsink for ur memory
also just to let u know
my ti4600 has a full copper heatsink covering all ram and gpu and i get temps of about 65-70 which a well cooled case

Hi m8 i have a similar set up to yourself and found that my graphics card was bloody well hot!!!!
what i done was added a port blower to the left hand side of the graphics card (the fan side) and it fits like a glove without blocking the graphics card fan.
I was left with the problem of the rear heatsink hotting up!!!,,, the cure was to use a spare fan i had off a pentium 2 heatsink and i stuck it on with evostick and routed the 3 pin connector to the motherboard.
It is on solid and the card now runs cool,i did off set it so it blew directly onto the indentation of the heatsink where it contacts the gpu chip..... hope this helps m8...baz

I am thinking I need a whole new motherboard

as the battery charger link to the computer became loose and apparently soldering them is a no go anywhere.....So I am guessing I need a whole new motherboard because of something as crazy as this. Apparently even though it is a common problem for my laptops because of it just reaching over the warranty time I got told I was sol....so to say. So now I am seeking advice as to what motherboards will go into my computer with ease and not cause any issues. My particular laptop is the HP Pavillion 6500 p/n gs667ua#aba it says it is the dv6629wm..........................SO PLEASE help me figure out what motherboard I can get that will not cause issues and will work correctly in this laptop. THANKS!

Hi, the motherboard does not have to be changed the power connector comes as a separate part. (100USD)
446524-001 = 90W AC Adapter
449454-001 = 65W AC Adapter
You will also have to add in the cost of labor to replace the part.
Please mark the post that solves your issue as "Accept as Solution".

New motherboard w/old Hard drive?

I have another thread titled Kt7 pro video turns off"
but this would apply to all.
Gave up on M.B. and tried a new one. It works fine. However!!!!!
How do you get the old Hard Drive with windows already installed to work properly with the a new Mother Board?
I know most would say reinstall windows from scratch, but this is not my computer and I don't have another Hard Drive etc etc.
I know people do do this by going into safe mode and deleting everything in the Divice Manager but how do you delete the Hard Disk Controllers. I remember someone said to delete the Num something in the registry?
Any input would be nice. cause for some reason windows won't recognize my Cd. so I can't install the controllers for the new motherboard.
Old M.B. KT7 Pro 2
New M.B. KT2

i have never had that work successfully with a system for more than 3 months. You can go into safe mode and uninstall every device driver you see, that might work. But don't expect a perfectly stable system.
My advice is to just re-install. I know you don't want to, but I would rather do it right the first time, then have to deal with it a couple of weeks later when something goes wrong.
The best success I had with moving a 98se installation to a new mobo was a KT133a based board to a KT333 based board. It lasted for about 2.5 months before it finally crapped out, and most of the hardware is pretty much the same if not identical.
Good luck

Where can i buy a new motherboard for my Qosmio?

Hi there,
My Qosmio experienced a fatal overheat and i'm looking for a new motherboard... I could'nt find any site to order it.
May you help me in that quest? Thanks by advance.
Qosmio X500-10Q
PQX33E-00E008FR

Hi
All notebook parts can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP (authorized service partner)
Therefore I recommend contacting the ASP in your country to get the compatible board.
But new mobo is very costly so dont know if its worth to replace the mobo in your case

Hello
For me there are no much options:
- Authorized service partner in your country
- Independent notebook hardware store (Google can help)
- Or maybe used main board from eBay
What you think?

Satellite M30X-134 - I'm looking for a new motherboard

Hello,
im looking for a new motherboard for my Satelite M30X-134! I was offered one with the Toshiba number K000019680 with the advice that this one is for all M30X notebooks. Im a little irritated, because my thoshiba trader told me, that I need one with the number K000019210. Could someone tell me, if the K000019680 goes also fine with my notebook?
Best regards
Armin

Hi
It looks like you can use both of them but maybe is better to use K000019210. on this way you will be on safe side.

New motherboard ATV not showing up in itunes

I have a "new" computer in that the motherboard had to be replaced, along with the hard drive... I can't get my Apple TV to show in devices in itunes. In itunes prefs I have "look for apple tvs" checked. The ATV is connected to my wireless network. Any ideas how I can see my ATV in devices? I'm running OS 10.5.8 and my ATV software is up to date.

Settings>Computers on AppleTV
The top entry is the sync library - change this and anything on AppleTV will be wiped in preparation for a new sync.
Lower entries are streaming libraries.
The new motherboard/hard drive will be a 'different itunes library to the one you preiously used hence why AppleTv doesn't show up - you need to set it up for the 'different' computer.
Authorisation is equally as fussy - my MacMini failed so I removed the hard drive to try and deauthorise the computer, but booting from another device it knew it was a differnet machine so i couldn't deauthorise it.

[nForce] New motherboard not POSTing/booting (MSI K7N2GM2-ILSR)

You peeps seem like a knowledgeable lot so should be able to help with my problem.
I've just got a new motherboard (MSI K7N2GM2-ILSR) to replace my old one (which was a bit iffy in the USB department). I assembled the new motherboard and all the original components (excluding graphics card as my new motheboard has it built in) into the case and tried booting the machine. The bios and logos and so on came up on the screen but it wouldn't boot from the hard drive (probably some windows problem). I thought that a reinstall of windowsXP would fix it but I needed some data off the drive before I could continue. I then took all the components off the new motherboard (memory/processor/hd) and put them back on the old motherboard (which was working fine). When I hooked it all back up, the machine wouldn't even bring up the POST although it was getting power as the fans were going and the power LED was fine. The screen just never ever kicked in from standby. I took the harddrive to work and managed to get the data off it so returned home to put the components back on the new motherboard ready for the new windows install. Only when I turned it on I got the same problem as that with the original motherboard just tested (i.e. nothing came up on the screen, keyboard lights didn't flicker, had power but nothing resulted from it). Now I know it's not the monitor as I checked it worked with my laptop and I doubt it the graphics output as both the AGP card and the onboard graphics don't fire the monitor up. And I doubt it's the PSU as it's ran the same processor and RAM on my old Asus motherboard.
So does anyone know if this is a broken processor problem, damaged RAM problem or something else?
Any help would be much appreciated.

"...How easy is it to damage a CPU..." Without propper care, very easy. 1. When inserting it into Mobo's slot, it should go without any force. If you have to push it, most probably you have bended a pin.- 2. Installing HSF: Applying too much strength to fit it, can break it. ( A corner ) 3.- If installing HSF in wrong way ( HSF Low step shoud go over CPU base step ) it will prevent HSF to work properly because only a part of CPU die will make good contact with HSF base. 4.- Installing HSF without using thermal grease (thermal pad ) over CPU die. ( It will let some air between them, so die is isolated and CPU temp will rise too much). 5. If reinstalling HSF., without cleaning it's base and CPU die from all old thermal compound before adding new one. 6. Adding too much thermal compound, even more if it has silver component ( Can cause a short.) But I'm sure there can be some others.

How can i get a new motherboard?

I have an iMac and it doesn't work!
My technical advisor said, it needs a new motherboard.
Anyone who knows how can I get one from Apple Store?
(I couldn't see this option on the website)

You cannot order a motherboard or any such parts from Apple. You'll need to take your iMac to an Apple Store or authorized Apple service center for repair. You can search the web for independent parts providers if you want to do the repair yourself, though that will void your warranty should your Mac have any remaining.

After installing a new motherboard, my imac opens pdf files with colorsync. How do I reset it to open them with Adobe?

After installing a new motherboard, my imac opens pdf files with colorsync. How do I reset it to open them with Adobe?

That makes sense Dennis. I did that but was unable to find Adobe Reader in my Applications folder. Of note though is that after a restart, the problem seems to have gone away. So, disaster averted. Thanks for responding though. It's nice to have help on this stuff.
