AGP Upgrade Problem.
LockedIve got a 7950GT agp card to replace an aging 6700. When I first fitted the card the xp boot logo would flash up for a second and the screen goes blank, the activity leds on my ram chips go out leaving a couple of rows at the bottom still lit and it just sits there. Same with safe mode.
The motherboard is an Abit AI7 (latest BIOS) which has a two digit led P.O.S.T display that usually continues to flick through codes even after the os boots but now stops at “48”. The abit manual has nothing on code 48 but the pheonix BIOS v4.0 (r6.00) manual says “Check video configuration against CMOS”?.
I tried backtrack 3 and a vista disc and they boot up fine. I ran system repair from the xp disk (not ASR or recovery console), it copies all the files across and reboots but doesn’t carry on with the repair (just black screen again) untill I put the old card back in and it picks up where it left off.
At this point I am properly stumped. Been googling for days now and not really come up with much. Tested 12v and 5v rails they are good.spec:
Abit Ai-7
P4 3.0GHz
2GB Corsair 3200C2PRO
Galaxy 7950GT (new)
ASUS n6800 (old)
Enermax FMA II 535w
Win XP sp2Thanks in advance,
