Hi i just bought radeon 9000 pro and installed it in my hp pavillion 8580c i am running win xp 500 mxz. After i installed drivers after i restarted the pc just restarts automattically in the desktop after like 10 sec when i log in ... later when i went to the safe mode i looked in device manager and saw that there wore 2 drivers the r9000 and radeon 9000 / 9000 pro .... i called my friend and asked him what the problem might be he has the same card he said u have to disconnect the old video card which is Riva tnt 8meg video card . when i went to bios it didnt show any options except where the video card is in pci or agp .... it is in agp port (brown port). you see when i disable in device manager in system tray in control panel the r9000 and restart my pc xp works fine but no drives or monitor drives are displayed ... and i cant see video ... (cause no driver working properly ...)

can anyone help plz i can give more info if needed :|
