BFG 6600 GT OC installation problems
Hi,
I bought the above card to replace my old Radeon (the original 32 meg card). Before installing the new card, I delete all ATI drivers and set the screen resolution to the lowest available - 800x600x16 bit. However, the new card prevents windows from loading. I booted in safe more and the boot hangs at "agp440.sys" and will not go further. I have upgraded my m/b drivers and messed with the bios a bit but no difference. My specs: P4 3gig Asus P4P 800 SE 1 gig ram 3 HD's 1 firewire card 1 Dell 24" LCD 350 Antec PSU When I put my Radeon back in, the system boots fine. Although I did notice one strange anomaly; when booting from the Radeon with the Dell LCD (DVI) I get garbage on the screen until the windows screen comes up. When I use a CRT (ANALAGUE) I can see the bios screen. When booting with the 6600 and Dell LCD or CRT, I get the bios sceen no problem. Weird. Anyways...I know that many users have experienced the agp440.sys but so far, I wasn't able to solve my problem. Any ideas? Could it be my PSU not being powerful enough? Also, the m/b manual says that it will only work with 1.5V cards, not 3.0V cards. Is the 6600 3.0V's? bombaj |

I suspect the problem may be leftover vestiges of ATI drivers. Hopefully, someone can help out with that since I have no ATI experience.

Hm, I deleted the ATI drivers using add/remove programs and after that
went into system settings (control panel - system - hardware - device manager - delete leftover windows generic driver - reboot). I guess I need to get into the registry but I'm not comfortable with doing that. Is anything available that will clean it? bombaj |

It will remove all of the ATI driver stuff from the registry. |
