Video Card/TV Tuner Conflict

neowolf · 05-08-2007, 09:08 AM

Hi,

Got a PC here with a new ATI Radeon X1650Pro (AGP) with latest drivers on an ECS 865PE-A Mobo. It runs well and is fine. However, once I add a ProLink PVBT878P+ TV Tuner card it basically disables the Radeon and leaves the computer with nothing but driverless graphics (no hardware acceleration)

Things I've done:

- Tried both CD (original) drivers and latest off the net for the tv tuner
- Switched it to different PCI slots
- Checked device manager/system info, they are using separate IRQ's and doesn't appear to be a conflict, but there is

I'm seriously running out of ideas here..... what else can I check/configure to get these two cards happy??

Specs are:

[Freshly nuked] Windows XP SP2
1Gb RAM
Intel Pentium 4 3.20GHz
ECS 865PE-A
ATI Radeon X1650Pro

Thanks for any help,

Neo

UPDATE:

I made a ghost image of the current Windows installation, and re-installed Windows again. I first installed the ATI drivers before anything and its still doing it, so it looks to be a hardware conflict rather than the TV Tuners' drivers causing the conflict..... does it help anyone?
