Replacing AGP card prevents boot
wrote in message
news:KKOENQCGD4L5OJJYENB4BQEPPVIDBSHTACGLKNIM@zipl ip.com I have a very odd problem with my Dell Workstation (Precision 620). Everything points to the fact that the video card broke down: the screen is scrambled, etc. The AGP bus on this machine is "AGP Pro: 66.6 MHz (4x-capable)" But when I replace the video card with a different one: ATI Rage 128 Pro (AGP 2x/4x), the machine does not even try to boot. Is it possible that the ATI card may be incompatible with the dual-CPU motherboard? More likely that you did not fully seat the AGP card into the slot. The AGP slot takes more pressure to push in a card than do the PCI slots. Could also be the ATI card is defective. -- __________________________________________________ __________ ** Share with others.
