nForce chipset & 5700 Ultra
this is driving me crazy - i have a Asus a7n266-vm motherboard and recently
purchased a 5700 ultra and they do not seem to work together. i had a 5200U & 5600U that worked fine with this motherboard, but the 5700U locks the system up upon boot. i have wiped the drive and reinstalled XP 2 times, but as soon as i load the chipset drives the machine locks up. anyone have a similar setup working??? Chris

Which version Nforce chipset driver are you installing? I've heard you can
unpack the driver and then delete the video driver from it before installing. I assume you first tried just plugging in the 5700U without changing anything else, correct? Maybe the 5700U is taking more power and your PSU is not enough for it. Try another, more powerful one. My other guess is you got a bad 5700U.

It works in a Gentoo machine with the new beta drivers for linux, but I
think your idea about unpacking the latest nForce drivers and leaving out the video part was right on - because everything would work fine till I used the nForce auto install, then all the issues started (system lockups or corrupted display)! thanks, Chris "DaveL" wrote in message ...

Chris,
Did you ever get this to function properly. I am having the same trouble but with an MSI nforce (MS-6373) board. If I remove the chipset drivers and only install the video the card functions properly but as soon as I load the chipset drivers the machine freezes. Are there beta nforce drivers that you know about? Mike "Chris Wall" wrote in message om...

I would help you if you said what OS you are using, what version of nforce
driver and what model video card. We can't read your mind, your know. Isn't the MS-6373 the same as a K7N420pro? I have one of those running flawlessly with a host of different video cards.

I have the same problem. I have a a7n266-vm and installed a MSI
Fx5700-VTD128 and as soon as I install the GART driver of XP it locks up and/or grabled the video. At first I thought it might be a bad card but I put it in an old machine that has a K7V motherboard and the card worked flawessly. I know the AGP slot on the a7n266-vm is good because I upgraded it from a GF4MX that worked with out a problem. I know it is not the power supply because both system that I tried the card in, have fortron 300w power supplies. I think Nvidia have a bug in both the Agp to pci driver and the Video driver. The Card is not fully initlized until the AGP/PCI driver is installed. Both drivers have a bug that do not handle the card properly. If the AGP/PCI driver is installed and the video driver is left as a geniec it garbles the video on the screen. Then when the lastest video drivers are installed it completely locks up and will not load XP past the startup screen. "DaveL" wrote in message ...

Joe,
I was never able to figure out what the problem was. I had the PNY 5700 Ultra and an MSI K7N420 Pro Motherboard. I tried every version of the GART driver that I could find. After about two weeks of trying I finally gave up and returned the card. I called PNY many times thinking that maybe it was a known issue but they were no help. They basically told me that if I installed the drivers properly I should have no problem. Kind of disappointing that a NVIDIA Video card would not work in a mother board with an NVIDIA chipset.
