hey guys.
I got the weirdest problem I have ever encountered…
I have a nVidia FX 5500 , after I connect an AGP card, The PC just hangs in windows.
I have tried changing it to a newer model, and checked at the store a new 7600… but that just gave me an alarm signal from the PC.
I have tried disabling the on board card from the setup, but that does no good…
I have installed now an old ATI Xpert2000 card, and its working just great….
And btw… I got the latest BIOS upgrade…
Any ideas?
