Asus P4C800 Deluxe & ATI 9800 Pro/Do these guys get along?

Well the reason I posted this is because I have a problem with loss of video
signal to my monitor using a 9700 Pro.
and I am just not sure it's not some sort of compatibility problem.. The
system locks and then the screen goes black with the monitor going in to
standby.. The only way to get the system back up is to hit the switch on the
power supply, then turn it back on..When it comes back on I get a message in
windows that there is a problem with my 9700Pro drivers.. I have had this
same problem with 3 different motherboards so I am pretty sure it has to be
a bad ATI card..But you just never know..
I was just testing the waters before I took the plunge and bought a 9800
Pro..
I am using Windows XP SP 1 Direct X 9
just incase anyone is interested..
and I have had this problem with Intel and AMD MB's.

Well this combo works fine here.P4c800dlx and hercules9800pro.
Stable as a rock.

It sounds like a bad video card to me......is it under warranty?

I also have P4C800 Deluxe, and have ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro. It is
working fine except the AGP slot is running at 4x. What do I need to
do to enable 8x on AGP? I couldn't find a setting in BIOS like I was
expecting.

TIA

Yes it is under warranty,and I plan on sending it back soon.
One thing I forgot to mention, this problem happens only once in a wile.It
may not happen for a week then out of the blue the screen goes black.

You will find that option under Display Properties/Advanced/ SMARTGART

Thanks for the pointer. It says it is running at 8x under SMARTGART -
but according to ATI configuration tool and according to ASUS Probe
tool, it is running at 4x. Who is right?

ASUS Probe is wrong says 4x here also.Look at your catalyst drivers they
give the right info.
Look under optionsdetails..

I have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB installed
with the latest ATI Catalyst 3.6 drivers. Have been an Nvidia man for many
many years and read great reviews about the 9700 Pro and 9800 Pro, so I
decided to give ATI a try on my new system. Was the best decision I have
made in a long time. The video card is fantastic. The P4C800 loves it.
Nvidia has a major problem on their hands.
