Keyan Farlander Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 A few thoughts: 1. Make sure the card is firmly seated in the slot. New cards can stick out a little sometimes and cause problems like this. (And we're talking microns, here.) It's happened to me before. 2. Make sure there's not some AGP setting in your bios that you have to set. Just look through all the stuff, especially anything that has to to with PCI or AGP. 3. You may need to flash your BIOS. 4. Call tech support. They may actually know what's wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Yes.Its better to Email/call Tech support like Keyan said. What effect does the Voodoo4/5 effect on games then the original?Just decrease the visible polygons right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 When your computer is booting up, you will see something that says, "Hit Del to enter setup" or something like that. Or, you might not. I don't know. But if you start up your computer and just keep pressing the the delete key, you should get into your BIOS. Look through the menus and see if there is something related to AGP or PCI and change stuff and try it (but remember what you changed, in case you need to change it back). Flashing your BIOS means upgrading your BIOS, more or less. I once had a video card that wouldn't work until I flashed my BIOS. You need to go to the homepage of your motherboard maufacturer and see if there is a new BIOS version for you. Be careful though, because if you screw up, you could really mess your system up, with no way to easily get it back (formating won't even help). I'd call the video card manufacturer before you try that, though, because they will be able to tell you for sure if that's what you need to do.

GUNNER Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Make sure you deleted the drivers for the on board card also. Try another slot. JZ, you want to feel humiliated just let me know and I'll tell ya my specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ike Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 KK, what you should do is this: switch the jumper setting back to the way it was and leave the new card in there. boot up to windows. right click on the my computer icon and go to properties. click on the device manager tab. go to the display adapters icon, click on the ATI adapter and hit remove. close out of there. shut your computer down. switch the jumper setting to disable it, then boot up your machine, but go into your BIOS as suggested. You will either have to hit DEL or F10 or something. look around in there for anything that says display being PCI or AGP and make sure it is on the right one. if it still doesn't work, look online for a BIOS firmware update from the manufacturer.

Turned off the computer, set the jumper so that the AGP chip was activated. Placed the VooDoo 4 in its slot, had to hook up the moniter to the new card to see what was being displayed... got thru boot up, Windows was running, and loading up the start-up programs then i got the blue screen of death with this message KEBUGCHECKEX: Called by c002ab3b Error code is 44 Parameters: cl559960 0 0 0 System Halted Now the directions say plug in the card and all that jazz, and when the computer starts up there will be a prompt for the CD, but i never get that prompt, i get the error okay, tried again, delted the Device from Device manager, Shut down the computer, Disabled the AGP chip using the jumper, plugged in the VooDoo card, got all the way to where Windows detected it, and was searching for Drivers then i got the same blue screen of death.

Guest Hans The Great Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Don't get too upset K, alot of people have troubles like this. I would try going into the BIOS at this point if you know how to do that and checking the computer's configuration from there. If you don't know how to do this then CALL TECH SUPPORT. This is a common problem that they would know how to fix with a minimum of fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
