as of now my NF7 [according to sisoft sandra] is in 2.0 AGP config
i believe the 9800 pro needs 3.0 AGP; what is the minimum voltage for this?
im currently at default [1.5v] and im getting no post whenever i put in my radeon
any other suggestions to allow my radeon to work in my abit NF7 are welcome
thanks
have you plugged in the extra molex connector to it? what card did you have in there previously?
yes i plugged it into the psu
i currently have my ti200 in
hmmm...does your comp power up at all and then shut off or what? maybe the card is drawing too much power for the psu to handle. I'm really not sure...
Maybe you should check the "end-line on the rotary gurter" -tommy boy
:) Anyway, I would start by removing anything extra that you have in your PC. Start with the pci slots, then move to extra hard drives if you have them. Post your results.

Check this link http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...ries=1&model=8 Your mobo does support agp 3.0. Check your bios settings as well.Quote:

it powers up for 1/2-5 seconds and shuts off with my 9800 inQuote:

perhaps you don't have enough power then. When is that antec430 coming in that is in your sig? That's my guess, not enough power.
Might not have the heatsink on correctly, it shuts off when that happens too.
good thought...how hot is the back of the card centered opposite the gpu when it shuts off? If it's blazing hot, that could be the problem...
heatsink problem? when i put the 9800 pro into my cheap 1.2ghz celeron system, it works fine
and nothing is hot in my case
okay, the psu is my foremost guess. If that's not it, i dont' know what is...
one thing that i dont understand is that ati states 8x requires 0.8v... the lowest voltage my bios allows is 1.5v- what gives?
That the lowest my MB, goes also, but I`ve had no problems with my 9800np.Quote:

Default on my AGP slot is 1.55v, whuch is also the lowest. You may want to try bumping it up.
edit: But with the system not even staying on it sounds like psu problems.
my psu should be in by Th-Fri...
this is what i was told to do from another forum:
You should've done a search because this horse has already been beaten down. It's the radeon. Try unplugging the aux power connnector then hit the system power button. As it begins to post then reconnect the aux power cord and it will boot. The radeon is the culprit. Also what ps are you using? I had to dump my antec 550w unit's, I tried a tc and tp, for the enermax in my sig and my boot problem went away.
does this sound safe to do?
also i came across this:

Sounds risky to me, I would wait until you get your new power supply, I would never hookup mine that way.Quote:
