This is my first time posting, let me say this is a nice site. Anyhow, a couple of years ago I bought an ASUS P4P800SE motherboard this board refuses to load an AGP ATI card I get the initial splash screen when windows starts to load drivers my screen goes blank and stays that way, the only way it WORKS is with Omega drivers. I tried a PNY board, an ASUS board now I have a Sapphire 9250 256mb. I tried it all, DISABLING serial ports, parallel ports, removing all unnecessary cards different monitor I have an old ATI 128 Rage PRO that works perfectly when I install it. ASUS was no help in fact told me if I SEND the board to them they will just send it back to with a NOTHING wrong note. Oh as an after thought when I when I Install these cards in a machine with an Intel motherboard everything installs smooth as silk. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.
If this posting is not appropriate just delete it.Have you enabled AGP in the BIOS ? ?
You also need to check both the MBoard specs and the AGP card specs to make sure they are compatible...AGP cards came with 2 different voltage patterns and they are not interchangeable.
Check both manuf. site if you do not have documentation.
