New ASUS V9980 issues - non detection and crashing

[Arakel]

Hi,

My ASUS V9980 arrived today, and I'm already having issues getting things working.

System:

XP2800 processor
1024 Corsair RAM
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum
Belkin Firewire card
Win XP Home
Seagate 30gig HD

I was running using the Nforce 2 onboard graphics until I got a graphics card, and everything was fine.

When trying to install the ASUS drivers using the autosetup utility, I get a message "Cannot find ASUS display card".

Windows seems to detect the device fine.

I installed the correct device manually, and Windows seems to like it.

However, whenever I try and start a game, my system crashes, either hanging or restarting.

Downloading the latest ASUS drivers doesn't help, since I get the same "can't detect card" message when I try to install them.

Can anyone help me? It's driving me insane...

Not familiar with your mobo, but did you(or do you need to)disable onboard graphics in the BIOS? Do you need to select AGP as primary graphic adapter also in BIOS?

I don't have onbaord graphics so I'm just guessing here
