And so it begins

We think this is a video card because ...y

a no-boot can be a million things...does it boot with the old card ??

Exacty how far does it get befor it Freezes?

cna you hit f8 and select step by step booting so we can see where it is locking up

can you boot to an a promt using a win 98 boot disk...and run a checkdisk or scan disk??

what errors do you get??

Thanks

p.s. welcome to the board

Heh,

Sorry for my lack of information in my previous post, heres the deal:

The Computer: HP XE783
The Card: (PCI)Radeon7000
The OS: Linux/XP
The Problem:

Works fine using any other card, once I install the Radeon for some reason you do not get any signal from any other cards also in, you have to use the radeon, it does this with it in alone, and on any PCI slot.
When you have the Radeon in, alone, with other video cards, with the onboad video card disabled/enabled, it will freeze right after the system check (You know where it checks your ram, and hd, cd drive, ect) it will display "System Configuration Data Updated" then hang, indefinatly.

I have tried:

Installing most recent bios update

Removing all other PCI/AGP devices

Moving the card to different PCI devices

Disabling the onboard video card

:angry2:Screaming at it for hours on end :angry2:



Nothing seems to be working any of you guys have any ideals?

...

I call ATI, They refer me to HP, I call HP, the product is out of warranty so they want 10.00 a min for tech support, I tell them to **** off, email both HP and ATI tech support,

HP replys with what should work (but doesn't)
¿ATI emails me an FAQ about installing drivers on XP?

I just emailed HP again telling them in a nice way that their method of fixing it is a total hunk of crap, tried to take the card back to the store, no return policy on opened hardware. The next best vid card I got is an ATI RAGE 3d Pro (ACK!) So Im really hurting to get this one running.

I thought the problem could be coming from my overclocked FSB but I underclocked it back and its still messed up.

I try every night to restrain myself from throwing the machine through a window...

Anyone here from ATI or better yet HP and want to give me tech support for say 0.00 a min??
