AGP slot disabled

[lama122]

Thank you both for all the help, I'll have to find another AGP card or a slot to test mine in. I started out thinking that the card was bad and that seems to be where I ended up again. I'll check out that Aperture Size and give Mem test a shot just to see if it shows anything. Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Just to give an update on whats going on with the AGP slot.

I have been unable to solve the issue I've been having thus far but later today I will have another AGP card AND another mobo with an AGP slot on it so I can test both my card and the slot on my mobo. I'll post back with the results when I can. Thank you all again for the help

Hi,

how did this go ? I have a similar problem. I noticed this in your thread :

"AGP Device Video Controller (VGA Compatible) [1002-7A7A] [NoDB]"

the '7A7A' is the device ID I get with my X800 & I'm wondering if that's what happens when it's been fried : It's not a valid device ID that's for sure.

If you got your card working then there's hope for me ! (& vice versa)

I got extremely frustrated with it and had absolutely no luck so I got a completely new gateway shell and mobo. The gateway had an AGP card in it and once I installed the harddrive and windows I was having the same issues. After following the steps for drivers for EVERYTHING it started to work perfectly. I sent my old computer over to my dad because he needed some of the parts and he tells me that the graphics card works flawlessly so it must have been the AGP slot on the board.

Only thing that I can really add to this whole thing is to make sure that you have updated windows to SP2 with every single update you can find for it from the microsoft site. Untill I did that no matter how many times I installed the drivers for the video card in the current computer it would not show it as a functioning device. You could even go up to SP3 if you wanted (thats what was on my original system) but its not really needed in my opinion.

I would like to once again thank everybody that helped me with this, I really do appreciate all the help that you gave. Thank You.

You have to install the latest drivers from tuzhilin.narod.ru/drivers and try to download the drivers for your ati radeon
x700 pro and download the drivers that has more megabytes and if there says that these drivers are for different windows series you just keep the eye on drivers size because for example drivers for xp are less megabytes.For example for win8 drivers are more megabytes.for example when it says the drivers are for vista or for win7 these drivers can be downloaded on xp also.why not.And you will see that agp is working in windows xp.Tuzhilin.narod.ru is the best way to download the drivers,because the latest inf drivers are there.
