Startup error with AGP video cards

I have a WInME machine that gives me errors on windows start-up that ask me
to hit ctrl-enter to clear and states that the client did not remain
resident. These only occur when I have an AGP video card installed. I do
have a PCI video card but would like to use it in a different machine. Has
anyone run across anything like this?
Thanks,
Craig Yager

I had tried that to no avail. I had also tried uninstalling the video
drivers earlier using the always reliable add/remove programs and got a
message that they had already been uninstalled. Just for grins, I tried it
again a few minutes ago (since it showed back up in the list of programs)
and it uninstalled for real that time. So I restarted, got no novell client
error msgs, re-installed video drivers, and got no error messages on
re-start! So I guess there was some sort of corruption in the video driver
that was causing this whole mess. Anyway, all's well now..thanks for your
help Barry!

  • Will X1650XT 512MB AGP Video Card work with 865PE MS-6728?

    Hi,
    My video card is fried, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a HIS X1650XT AGP 512MB video card. I read somewhere that some motherboards have issues with 512MB video cards. Is this true? I can't find anymore info on whether this motherboard will support this video card.
    http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=276&view=yes
    Anyone have any input?
    Thanks!

    No need to get hostile, I didn't say you were an idiot.  Though continuing to make uninformed statements might get you there....
    Quote
    The video cards need at least 30A to make the card run properly.  That's pretty damn easy to understand how the last PSU was the problem.
    Actually, it doesn't.  The 30A figure cited by the manufacturer is a worse case scenario for +12V needs of the entire system + the graphics card.  The X1650XT doesn't even need an auxillary PCI Express power connector and can be powered entirely through the PCI Express slot, which supports a maximum of 75W.
    If you need further proof of this, for CrossFire setups the manufacturer cites a figure of 38A on the +12V rail.  If one card requires 30A, how could two cards require only 8A (96W) more than one?  The same requirements are stated for X1950XT (30A single and 38A Crossfire), so its a highly generic target that attempts to account for an entire range of power supply rating methods and total system power demands.
    Here are total power consumption measurements of whole systems used in various X1650XT tests:
    Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 @ 2.93 GHz
    Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C4
    Western Digital 150GB 10K Raptor
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 206 Watts MAX
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
    2GB Crucial PC-4000
    Western Digital 74GB 10K Raptor
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 192 Watts MAX (only 66W higher for 2 x X1650XT in CrossFire)
    Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz/4MB)
    Seagate 7200.7 160GB SATA
    Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 (1GB x 2)
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 182 Watts MAX
    Those are figures for TOTAL system power needs, not the graphics card itself.  Here are figures just for the X1650XT from X-bit Labs:
    55.2 Watts @ full load
    That's not more than 5A MAX from the +12V rail.  Even assuming a 20% VRM loss, gets us to around 6A MAX.
    As anyone can plainly see, the manufacturer's stated requirement of 30A is a hugely overinflated number to help people avoid purchasing a power supply like this because they are looking only at hugely inflated total power.
    Given that your X1650XT could not possibly require more than 6A of 12V+ power, and high-end systems using overclocked Dual Core Extreme don't even consume more than around 250W TOTAL (all components combined, factoring VRM loss), the evidence is now overwhelming and beyond dispute that your previous power supply was more than adequate and that inadequate power was never the cause of your problem.  It could have been defective, but that isn't the same as having inadequate power.

  • USB Ports and AGP Video Card on same IRQ

    I've got a tough one.  I have 6 USB ports.  Call them 1,2,3,4,5,6. Ports 1 and 2 work fine with my new USB 2.0 80GB External Harddrive.  This pair of ports 1 and 2 are direct into motherboard.
    However system crashes when I plug USB 2.0 External Drive into ports 3,4,5,6. These are Dports with cables that plug into the MB.  One of these Dports has the four error lights which are all green.  Western Digital has cautioned against sharing this drive with other IRQs.  Says that the video card and the WD harddrive require dedicated IRQs...but I have no control of how W XP assigns them.
    Ports #3-6 work fine with mouse,  scanner, and printer etc. However they fail when trying to use WD External Hardrive.
    I also checked IRQ settings and IRQ 16 is used for a USB Port and for my MSI AGP video card.  I believe this conflict is the cause of the problem.
    So help..how do I fix this dilemma?  
    I have Windows XP and see no way to change IRQs.
    BIOS does not even show IRQ as a choice..only 1-15.  Also BIOS is latests version for my MSI 845G Max L MS-6580 mother Board.  USB drivers are all Intel.  Video Card Is MSI AGP MS-8878 G4Ti/MX 420 w TV out.  Bios and Drivers are current.
    How can I run the USB 2.0 External Harddrive in Ports 3-6?

    I did load new Intel INF Drivers and AGP drivers yesterday.
    No luck USB Ports 3-6 still fail with External Hard Drive.
    I'm not clear on how to turn back on AICP or ACIP.  BIOS?
    Also not IRQs 16-23 are listed with active devices on the Device Manager
    16 has a USB Controller at 24c2
    16 also has AGP video card
    17 has Audio '97
    17 also has Fast Eternet.
    18 has USB Controller at 24c7
    19 has USB Controller at 24c4
    23 has PCI to USB Interface.  
    Port 3-6 do work fine with mouse, dig cam, Scanner, printer.  These ports only fail with External Harddrive plugged in.  Ports 1and2 work fine with external HD??
    So question is how do I check on the IRQ ports using AIPC or APIC...or whatever the name is...thanks folks.

  • AGP Video card upgrade

    I fear the answer will cost me $400, but here we go:
    I have a dual processor Power Mac G5 tower.
    There's an AGP 9800 128mb video card in there I want to upgrade.
    I have an ATI X800 AGP 256mb card from a PC that's not being used anymore. I can install the card and use a Y connector off the optical drive to get power to the card, but when I boot the system I get no video.
    Just as a test, I removed the card and booted the mac with no video card, it acted the same as when the X800 was in: System appears to be booting, no error beeps or anything, I just don't see anything on the screen.
    I fear the answer is "Buy a Mac Edition card" but really, the only feasible option is the X800XT MacEd which is a ~$400 card after shipping costs.
    Now, is there a bios upgrade that I need to make the card work? Do I need to reset the PRAM to make it be recognized? Does anyone know a card with 256mb RAM that will outperform the 9800 I have now, but not cost me an arm and a leg?
    I only run two applications on this computer: Firefox and World of Warcraft. I guess if this card won't work, I'll just ebay it and spend $100 on another gig of ram and wait for the X800 video cards price to drop.
    Any help the can be offered, I greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
    G5 Power Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Check with Mike over at Accelerate Your Mac, he should know how to flash that card to get it to work with a Mac.
    It' probably best to sell it and buy a Mac card, than take a chance.
    The X800xt is your best choice and I would choose soon because AMD bought ATI and the future is a little uncertain. Certainly AGP cards will be running out and getting more powerful ones even harder.
    You should also run the latest ATI updater before installing the new card.

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

    We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
    Many thanks,
    Philip

    The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
    BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
    He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
    There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
    There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
    Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.

  • 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.

  • Will this card work? - Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card

    I posted a question about getting the maximum resolution from an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display and another card, which didn't work.
    The replies were fast here in the forum and quite correct.
    My next question is regarding the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card.
    I have an AGP card with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro card that can't power the 30 inch because it's only 64MB and no DVI output.
    I'm wondering whether this card will give me the maximum resolution?
    Thanks again.

    Hi Japamac-
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    My System Profiler indicates a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, but it doesn't have the Dual Link since this is an older G5 with only 64MB of VRAM.
    The GeForce 6800 is a refurb, but is Mac compatible.
    I'm hoping that it will work, but since it won't be returnable, I don't want to spend the money needlessly.
    I did order another card that the Apple support suggested should be compatible, but turned out that they sent me the PC version.
    I've spoken to Apple as well and get conflicting info.
    It boils down to the fact that this is a G5 with a late 2004 date.
    It is fast enough for me and my only hang up is that I'm only getting 12980X800 resolution.
    I'm not using it for gaming or graphics processing.
    HTH.

  • K8T Neo-V, problems w/ savage agp video card (Stealth III S540)

    Hi all
    I have a K8T Neo-V mobo, 512 MB Kingston memory and a Stealth III S540 agp video card. The problem is that when I play any kind of video in my linux box it freezes completely the system, same thing with Windows Xp SP2. When i start Soldier of Fortune it hangs up the system. The agp card is quiet old, i know, could be this a problem with some BIOS setup like 'aperture size' and speed, and so on? Don't know about what this options means  ???,  maybe that's the source of the problem, who can give me some piece of advice about this, please. I'm considering getting a newer and faster agp card, but not in the near future.
    Thank you 

    I am suprised a card that old even works as I thought those were for the original AGP setup that had different voltages.
    I would really recommend grabing a newer card up and if you are just looking for a simple display maybe you can still find an old Ti4200 or such.

  • Issues with games, video card issue?

    Hi,
    I have been having issues with games lately. Mostly they are hidden object games from  Big Fish, but they start up then minimize, it doesn't crash completely just minimizes, I click on it again and it works for a few seconds and minimizes itself again and again. I am unable to play the games because it keeps minimizing. could this be an issue with my video card? I have attempted updating it but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

    Ok OK, Update...
    the games work perfectly on my father's HP which runs windows 7...so it definatly is NOT because of not updated stuff....I really dont know what else to do at this point....no suggestions from anyone?!?!?!

  • What AGP video cards work with the MEGA PC

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to this forum and a new owner of a Mega PC651.  I will be configuing it with the following:
    512 MB DDR 2100 RAM
    Celeron 2.4Ghz CPU
    Digital Research Technologies DVD+-RW/+-R
    I want to play 3D games like C&C Generals with the system but am afraid that the SIS651 will not support them.  
    I have a ATI 9700 All-in-wonder Card in my son's computer but am concerned about heat generation in the Mega PC after reading several reviews. Also, I think that he will be very angry if I steal his card.
    Can anyone recommend a moderately priced Video card MSI or other that will fit and will not cause any heating problems?
    Thanks,
    Charlie G

    Windows XP supports up to AGP 8x.
    I have a 9600 pro at the moment. I don't think that VGA silencer will work - if it takes up the PCI slot, then there will be nowhere for the cooler to draw air from because it will be pressed up against the case.
    I am currently running my 9600 pro without any additional cooling and it seems to be doing ok. I did have a unit somewhat like this:
    http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/slf-01.html
    It definately helped the cooling but the noise began to get to me. I recently sorted out my CPU cooling problems and so the main source of noise was my system exhaust above. I have taken it out and have been playing several high graphics games with no problems yet.
    As for only supporting up to 4x, the 9600 pro will not be dragged back much. When it gets to the point that games require more than 4x speed to pass full detail for a decent framerate, the 9600 pro will start to struggle anyway. You will have a slight performance decrease, but nothing that will turn a game from being playable to un-playable. I would have bought a better card but the 4x speed would limit the cards actual power so there wouldn't have been any point.

  • Genius needs to help! problems with my video card and system

    Hey guys! I'm going to post my specs first so that you get a good idea of what I'm running on:
    MSI Neo2 LS 865PE.....MAT=Slow
    Pentium4 2.4C.....FSB=233=2.8C hyperthreading enabled ~>1.55V
    Corsair TwinX 1gig PC3700.....memory on "AUTO" in BIOS with timings at 3,4,4,8 ~> 2.7V
    Radeon 9700NP.....stock speeds ~>1.7V
    AlienX case with 2 fan400 watt power supply and 6 case fans
    Zalman Alum/Copper heatsink fan
    1:I've had this motherboard for a few months now. I upgraded my video card from a nVidia Ti4200(128meg) to a Radeon 9800 a month ago, but I couldn't get it working at 8X AGP, no matter what voltages I threw at it. I returned it for a Radeon 9700NP hoping that it would work, but it still won't.
    I'm using BIOS 1.9 and since there is no option to select your AGP speed, I could only try using ATI's drivers. Once booted into Windows, there is a slider you can move to select you AGP speed. On my machine It says that It has performed some tests and has concluded that AGP 4x is the best for my system....but my system supports AGP 8X!
    I've moved the slider over to 8x (which requires a reboot) at least 5 times with each card but the slider refuses to move past 4xAGP after the reboot.
    2: My second problem: I had an old stick of KingMax PC3200 and decided to buy 3 more sticks. Unfortunatly, the 3 I bought did not match the one I had, so I only put 2 of the new sticks I bought into my system. Immediatly, My system would crash, lock up, files were corrupt, and I got PLENTY of blue screens of death with a long message containing: 0x0000007  with all these other numbers and "0"s. I did a search online and found out I had a hardware incompatibility problem. I never got this with my old stick of ram.
    I returned the 3 sticks of Ram and replaced them with the Corsair. Put my new Radeon 9700 in, formatted my hard drive....and within 24 hours, my system locked up 3 times, rebooted itself 5 times, and gave me the same BSOD as mentioned above with the same long message.  
    I didn't change anything except for the memory and the video card. I've been wanting to overclock, (thats why i bought the faster memory   ) but I'm not sure what to do at this point.
         I have my FSB at 233 but I'm scared to go any higher because of previous system instability at stock speeds. My RAM was running on 400 and MAT=Turbo with the most relaxed timings at 3,4,4,8.
    I've given myself hours of sleepless nights formatting when my system wouldnt boot into windows; overclocking....etc. I NEED HELP. PLEASE. PLEASE. Anything could work at this point.  
         I'm trying to get more info on how to run my system at a 5:4 ratio, also.  
    If anyone has problems like me or knows what could be the problem with my system, please reply to this post, it would help me a lot. I've been trying to fix these problems for a few months now so anything is greatly appreciated.  

    Thanks a lot to you guys that responded. I brought my computer home this past holiday and I want to let you know where I stand as of now. I guess this thread is like my blog for my computer. I want to clear some things before my first post makes everyone confused.
    1- I have only 2 sticks of memory in my system: the Corsair PC3700 TwinX 512x2
    I returned the 3 KingMax I bought, and still keep my old stick just in case.
    2- I am using the 400 watt power supply that came with the case. I read some reviews of the case and I know the reviewer did not have problems with the power supply. In my BIOS, there are some voltages it is weak on. Lets say: it it should be 5.00+, my power supply will be feeding it 4.96v or something like that, but I dont know, or think, that is a major problem...
    3- My computer will refuse to boot if memory speeds are set at anything below 400. SO....if I want to use a 5:4 ratio and have to set my memory speeds to "333" in BIOS, my system refuses to boot.
    4- This morning, I did manage to overclock my FSB to 250. Specs are as follow:
    Memory Timing @3,4,4,8,4.....speed set at "AUTO".....MAT at "SLOW"
    MY 2.4C's FSB was raised to 250 = 3.0gig  
    AGP/PCI frequency: 67.xx/3x.xx (cant go any lower)
    CPU voltage: 1.5500
    Memory voltage: 2.75
    Video Card voltage: 1.7
         Everything was fine for the whole day until I heard something click in my computer around midnight, and then seconds later, my computer froze and made a continuous beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. (you can imagine)
         This "click" and system crash has been plaguing me for months now. I dont know whay it happens. I was just using AIM when I heard the click and my heart stopped.
    My memory speeds have been set to "AUTO" even at the FSB of 250. But I don't know if this still means my system is at a 1:1 ratio. I know the BIOS then adjusts the memory to work at 500 if my FSB is 250...so I assume it is?    I love 3gig, but somehow I feel that 2.8 is faster, since the FSB=233 running parallel to my memory, also at 233
    A FSB of 250 is good enough for me, that's what I've been waiting 6 months for. If anyone knows how to set other ratios to achieve a FSB of 250+, please let me know, but as I said, my memory won't boot if its set at "333"

  • Aperture Won't Launch With 2 Video Cards

    I use 3 monitors with my G5 Dual 2.5GHz for running a number of programs simultaneously and also for Final Cut Pro editing. In the center is an Apple 23" HD Cinema Display. On the left is an Apple 15" DVI flat screen and on the right is an Apple 15" VGA flat screen.
    Aperture will not launch at all. It gives me an error stating that the video card is not supported. The main card is a GeForce 6800 GT DDR that has the 23" and the 15" DVI connected. The problem is the Radeon 7000 that has the 15" VGA hooked up. I took the Radeon out and Aperture ran fine so I know where the problem lies.
    Obviously I cannot keep taking the Radeon in an out of the G5 whenever I want to use different programs. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hope Apple will have an update where you can tell Aperture what monitors to use or video card to ignore. That should alleviate the problem. Is there a way of using Terminal to turn off the Radeon which would allow Aperture to run? I just bought this program and was all excited to start using it. Now I'm bummed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Maybe there is a way to turn the Radeon 7000 on and off through Terminal? Some process I can quit to run Aperture on the 2 monitors connected to the nVidia GeForce 6800GT and then restart that process when I'm done so I can go back to using 3 monitors?
    Thanks.

  • Running iMovie 08 on a PowerMac G5 with two video cards?

    I have two video cards installed on my PowerMac G5. The primary card is the Radeon 9600 XT (AGP). I also added a relatively inexpensive Radeon 9200 (PCI) to run a second monitor.
    Under iMovie HD, this setup works well, although it does warn me that one of the video cards is unsupported. (As long as the iMovie windows are on the primary monitor). Final Cut Pro Studio 2 also has no difficulties with this setup.
    iMovie 08, while it installs, starts up with a window saying that Quartz Extreme is required and only allows me to quit. The 9600 XT does support Quartz Extreme, while the 9200 does not.
    While I do not use iMovie for my own video editing (I do have Final Cut Pro), I need to be able to open and see student projects created in iMovie. It seems odd that iMovie could have stiffer video card requirements than Final Cut Pro (or Motion 3).

    Hello! You are correct "iMovie requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster)". You can't upgrade the G4 to run iMovie 08. Tom
