http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hard...4x/index.shtml says mobo
is agp4x it could be the mobo is too old to recognize the newer vid card or
that the power supply has an insufficient voltage/power to support the new
vid card. how much power (watts) does your power supply have. try booting
into safe mode ( F8 while booting into windows ) and uninstall all of the
video related programs and reboot back to window and reinstall your vid
drivers. you can pick up a new power supply at
http://www.computersurplusoutlet.com look on page
http://www.computersurplusoutlet.com....asp?C=18&s=85 and you can
find a 550 watt ps for $24 USD ( you should upgrade the powers supply anyway
as newer stuff eats up a lot of power

Hi,



I have an asus model p3v4x motherboard with a via appollo pro133A chipset



I got a new nvidia geforce4 mx 4000 instead of an old voodo3.



I tried to install the new video card and it did not worked well. Most of
the times it caused a full system halt or shut down.



I searched the internet and changed the bios setup so it will work in agp
2x
mod instead of 4x mod.

I also updated the display drivers and installed the via 4in1 drivers.

The final result is:

The bios does not recognize my new geforce. The geforce is being
recognized
by the bios only after I previously worked with the old voodo3.

If the bios recognize the geforce it is working well. But after a complete
shutdown the bios does not recognize the geforce anymore.

If the bios recognize the geforce then a restart (not a shutdown) won't
cause the bios to stop recognize the geforce.



What can be done to resolve the problem?



Thanks for the help



Amit
