Radeon 9600 - compability issue Asus ??

[Jorgen [2400/DK]]

Hi,

i recently bought an Excalibur Radeon 9600 (256 mb), but no matter which
Motherboard (Asus A7N8X-E, Asus A7v880) I try it on - it crashes (VPU
overload) the same second I install Catalyst Drivers..

But running with my old Radeon 9500 pro (Sapphire), I have no issue what so
ever...

Anyone had simular experinces ? Perhaps even a solution ?

I'm running on winxp pro sp2 (same issue with SP1)

Thanks
jorgen

Did you try downloading the latest drivers from www.atitech.ca?

Try the OMEGA drivers. My system has been more stable since I moved to them
some months ago.

Hi jorgen,
My bord is the P4c800E.In the manual there is a note:"If installing the Ati
9500 or 9700 Pro series VGA card, use only the card versions PN xxx-xxxxx-30
or later,for optimum performance and overclocking stability"
Apparently there are some issues with asus and Ati cards.
Good luck Boldy

thats a tough issue, some board/video combo's are really picky. I'm
having issues like that as well and I haven't nailed it yet. I know my
card is good cause it works flawlessly in an agp 4x system, but it
crashes my system, agp 8x with dual channel mode.

I am thinking this may be the underlying issue as it is the only major
technical difference between the 2 boards... bot intel chipset
865pe...

So I would hurry and test the card in another working system, just to
rule out a bad card. then email the mfg and send your board specs and
ram used...

oh ya, if those are nvidia or via chips, you need the gart driver
installed a well...
