Flghtmstr1 Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Yep, mine does EXACTLY the same thing. By the way, the Fortron 530 didnt do anything to solve any of my problems; in fact, it was far worse. I don't know if i recieved a bad psu or not, but all rails were very low on the fortron. even with pot adjustments, i couldn't get the psu to reliably crank the board, so back it went.

Guest someDude Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 yeah, I wouldn't want to have bad rails on a new PS either. OK, a strange update now. Thought I'd go back to son 1's computer and give it a go with Flghtmstr1's method, since it worked good on son 2's computer. So I did a good driver cleaning, pulled that Ti4600 again, and installed a 3rd unopened untested 9800 pro 256. Did that of course with power off for a while, so started back with a cold boot from power unplugged, ie no red standby power led. Get this, it boots up with good video first time and every time:confused: Now this is same computer that didn't like 2 other new 9800 pro 256 cards. So, my thinking is it's the video cards. But they do work on my Asus. Perhaps that agp slot needs a little foreplay, you know, several gentle (installations) before really hitting it hard.

GlennC Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 This is resolved. I spoke with my customer and he said he found another high end video card ( nvidia chipset) and it worked. It appears that this Radeon 9800 NEVER worked with the DFI board. If I knew that, I could have saved myself much aggrevation. I find it odd that this card works fine in my PIII MB but not in the fancy DFI. Thanks for all the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
