I have recently installed a new video card (ati radeon 9600se). I have
discovered that when I go to device manager, display adapters, radeon 9600,
properties, I find that the location for the card is said to be PCI slot 7
(it only has six pci slots) instead of agp slot. Why isn't it listed as
being located in the agp slot that it is actually plugged into. I am using
an ASUS A7V600 mobo.

Thanks
MJ

Hi,

That's normal.

Thanks Rick.............Now all that I have to do is figure out why my
computer is going into an instant shut down at random. It has even happened
once during start up. I have a new mobo and video card (both installed at
the same time). I am guessing that the problem is going to be a devective
board.

thanks again

Hi,

It's possible - are there any errors showing in the event viewer (start/run
eventvwr.msc)? If you disable autoreboot on system error (control
panel/system/advanced/startup and recovery settings), do you get a blue
screen error?

I already had autoreboot disabled. I have no error messages (at least not
anywhere near the time that I have the shut down) in the event viewer. I
never know when it is going to shut down. Just a few minutes ago while I
was typing some e-mail it just goes "pop" , the screen goes black because it
looses power, the computer fans are still running, I can eject cd's from
either of the two drives. Everything else is dead. I must use the restart
button and re-boot to go back into operation. When I check event viewer
logs there are no errors. I am suspicious that it is a defective ASUS
A7v600-X mobo (I have only had it for about three weeks).

Download a Motherboard monitoring program. Usually, the
vendor will have one. Enable logging and monitor the voltages
present on the board. I doubt the problem is Thermal, as the
board would not normally "Slam-Off" in the manner you describe.

Agreed - I would start seeing about using the warranty, as it definitely
sounds like a hardware issue.
