Asus A7V8X-X and Asus Radeon 9600XT not working
I cannot get my Asus Radeon 9600XT video to work on my Asus A7V8X-X
motherboard. I've tried two different Asus Radeon 9600xt video cards and am having the same result. After booting into Windows XP, the screen will randomly go blank or the graphics driver will report it has crashed and the screen will turn off and on. I have to reset my computer in order to get things back to normal. I even reformated and reinstalled XP and the problem still exists. Additionally, my Geforce4 works just fine on this system. I purchased both an Asus motherboard and graphics card hoping to maximize compatability. However so far I've had no luck. Below are the specs on my computer. Asus A7X8X-X Bios 1009 Asus Radeon 9600XT 512mb RAM AMD Barton 2.5ghz VIA 4 in 1 driver Package Service v4.49 - From Asus website ati799_wxp2k.zip - From Asus website AsusEhancedDriver.zip - From Asus website SmartDoc431.zip - From Asus website Windows XP SP1 Any help is greatly appreciated. -alex |

I had similar problems with a A7V600 and 9600XT. Apparently the 9600XT
doesn't like the Via Chips. Try running it at 4x AGP instead of 8x AGP also make sure Fastwrite is off. If this doesn't work try disabling VPU recover "Paul" wrote in message ...

If the A7V8X-X doesn't have an AGP lock, that might be the source of the problem. For example, an ATI9800 cannot handle the AGP going from the normal 66MHz to an overclocked 75MHz. Maybe the 9600 shares this characteristic ? Try testing your system without overclocking, to see if the problem is AGP frequency. Many older video cards could handle higher frequencies, and the Nvidia ones have been known to run OK at 100MHz. ATI has done something to change the way this characteristic works. This post suggests there is no lock on your AGP frequency: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...24%40attbi_s54 HTH, Paul |
