Start the PC in Safe mode with just the 7800. Go into the display settings and set it to 800x600 @ 60hz. Force it to that if you have too.
Restart and try again.

hi there,

quick question to all, any advice on 2GB ( 2*1GB matched pairs ) for this mobo, currently selling my 4 sticks of 512MB corsairs on fleabay because i cant run all 4 together .

addtionally my first attempt at buying memory for this mobo also wasnt a good experenice, wasnt compaitable , think it was geil memory.

I have 2Gb standard Crucial running very nicely on my son's Asrock. It's only stable at 2T on any rig but does overclock to about 250mhz @ 3,3,3,6 2T. However I don't bother with O/C on his rig as it does everything and plays any game to the best abilities of his 800XTPE. :cool:

recently upgraded to this mobo mate, heres what i did

clean install of xp

download and install least all in one drivers from ALI

check AGP drivers have installed in system devices

update windows

install latest nvidia drivers

then start overclocking

A bit of a worry, maybe I'll be in no hurry to upgrade to PCI-E either.

it is indeed a worry for agp users, im trying to figure out whats stopping it working. ive been looking on several forums and a few users have had this and the replies to them have been most unhelpful.
the whole point of this board was to be able to simply swap to a pcie card and not have to bother re-installing :rolleyes:

chopchop · 24 Mar 2006 at 13:50

well im sure the problem is down to windows (like most things :rolleyes:

)
after much faffing about, winxp corrupted the system file :rolleyes:

, so i formatted and installed win2k
