Radeon 9200 causing redlight in shuttles?

[SB118]

Just picked up a rad 9200 to finish a shuttle (nforce3) based tv box i'm building, but the red led near to the agp slot lights up and the machine doesn't start.

I tried it in my daughters shuttle (nforce2) and it does the same thing.

Is this a duff card, or just imcompatable with my motherboards?

Cheers

i cannot bloody believe this :/:/

(i sold this card to him btw)

it was deffinatly working when i sent it, i took it straight from my pc and wrapped it up

Never crossed my mind that it could be otherwise, it has been in the hands of the Royal Mail ...

The shuttles start using the nvidia cards i've got, but not this one Nvidia is nice, but the ATI card has got a hardware based tv-out which the machine can boot from. Or so i'd hoped (sob)

Machines won't actually start with the red light on. Doesn't get as far as post.

Any clever video card type person know what's happening?

oh poo mail me your postal and i'll send it on tuesday.

back to the poxy nvidia card now, wonder if it can set it to boot from the tv-out somehow?

edit: im getting a delivery failue mate, any other emails?

Everything else is getting through, try it again.

If you boot it with the only thing plugged in to the card being the TV, and the TV is turned on it should boot to TV-Out.

It won't boot on to TV-Out if it can't find the TV though (hence why the TV needs to be on at boot). That's been the case each time I've tried TV-Out on various cards anyway.

You star works like a charm, apart form it won't give me a widescreen display
