Motherboard for a radeon9600

[Nullvoid]

Hi, currently I have an asus a7v333 and I just cannot get my radeon9600 to work with it. I've tried it on my dads comp running an nforce2 mobo and it works just fine. I've tried switching his 460W power supply over to my PC and that doesn't solve anything so I don't think it is power related. If I was to buy an a7v880 is the radeon9600 guaranteed to run on it? Or would I just be wasting my pennies. If anyone has some solutions that don't involve spending money I'd be glad to hear them.

Hmmm...try shutting down your computer, put in the 9600 and then clear the CMOS and then try to start up. Have you updated your BIOS? If that doesn't work, update your BIOS and repeat the process. Can you get into BIOS? If you can, try to looking for and playing with the options...

It might be a resource problem and I don't know how to fix that...I searched google and found some other people that were having problems with Radeons on that motherboard and Nvidia would work just fine....

I've already tried clearing the cmos, and I have the latest non beta revision of the bios. Even so, I've never managed to get any image to appear. What you say about it being a conflict with that particular motherboard, I have a hunch that is right, but I can't for the life of me think why, and would like to be a bit more certain before spending money on a new one...

Get yourself an ABIT NF7-S and get rid of these silly Via problems.


Abit IS7 - 2.8C @ 3.4 - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

You consider abit to be a more reliable manufacturer than asus? Ie: what does it offer that is superior to asus's own nforce2 offering...
