Problem, possibly memory related?

[lynx]

Oh, if only I had remembered this earlier.

Now that you've mentioned the potential graphics card compatibility problem I remember having almost exactly the same problems just about 2½ years ago.

I spent about 2 weeks taking motherboards back to my supplier, and eventually got a different mobo. About a week later they announced an incompatibility between the mobo and the graphics card. I think that particular card was an 8500, but the incompatibility they announced was different. I think just about any Radeon card caused problems with that mobo, so you may find the same thing.

[Mr. Mulder]

Clocker and Lynx's stories have got me convinced it's the graphics card, We've just ordered a Inno3D GF2 MX400 64mb to replace the 7000 AGP, it will work

[clocker]

it will work

I admire your optimism.

Hope it is warrented.

[Mr. Mulder]

didn't work

[clocker]

Bummer, dude.

What now?

[Mr. Mulder]

i'm going to scoop out Scully's insides and use them

[Mr. Mulder]

It was the graphics card(s), I had gotten two broken cards in a row

[tesco]

Shit luck.

So everything is finally up and running?

[Mr. Mulder]

Yeah all original parts plus the new card are up and running, i had to take it into a shop to find this out, came to £20 which I suppose isn't too bad compared to most places bought a card of them for £40 too, so it's all sorted

SOmetimes that is easier, since they have extra parts to test with.
