AGPVideocard vs. Harddisk on Asrock mainboard
Hi Folks,
weird problem: everytime I install a AGP-Videocard to replace the weak onboard video chip the system hangs , i.e. after rebooting the HDs seem to be blocked. Windows XP doesn't start at all; some files seem to be corrupt. So if I had not backuped the whole boot partition in an image file I would have to reinstall the whole OS all over again. There is no interrupt conflict as the HDs use 14 +15 while the video card has 11. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Specs Mainboard: Asrock GPro, Bios 1.40; SIS-Drivers for AGP-Port und HDs installed 512 MB Gforce 4 MX 400 or Matrox 200 HDs Maxtor 6E030L0; SAMSUNG SV1204H |

Hi, Avenger, I replaced the PSU with no result. the old and the new one supply 300 W. I guess thats far enough for 2 HDs, 1 LAN-card and a videocard like a oldfashioned Gforce 4 mx 400, which shouldn't be that thirsty. Well I finally think I got a mainboard with a major misfunction. alex |

I guess that it might indeed be your motherboard.... |
