Hi my name is James
I am running a Dell dimension 2400 with 256mb ram, celeron processer 2.4 ghz and Intel extreme graphics, and 40 gb hdd and the rest.
I just brought a 256 mb PCI card made by powercolor, built with radeon 9200 technology. Not pci express just straight PCI
Followed the instructions, pluged card in, turned on computer,go into the device manager and i get a yellow
"!" mark with the code 12 error against my card.
Uninstalled onboard intel extreme graphics controller, its model thing is ...
Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller it has 64mb of video ddr ram
Um well as soon as i uninstalled it and rebooted, windows would automactically recongise it again and then yeah. it would become default.
So i disabled it and now its outta use. yay =)
I am currently running off the default windows vgasave graphics thing and i still have the error code 12 on my radeon.
I have installed catallyst, downloaded specific drivers from the powercolor site, installed those and i get either
TUL corporation, RADEON 9200 SERIES ver. 8.252.0.0 [5/3/2006]
or..
just the plain
RADEON 9200 SERIES ver. 8.252.0.0 [5/3/2006]
Well i am using the plain Radeon 9200 series driver ^
And have tried both with no luck.
I read somewhere that i should not use the microsoft drivers
so i steered clear.
Then i saw that I should try adjusting the agp apeture in the bios setup.
To have it under 64mb.
I dont even have a agp slot!! but it couldnt hurt.
Well i have tryed all of the options 32, 64, 128 and 256, but no luck.
I have also seen that if i try changing which pci slot it is in, it can help.
Well it is in 1 at the moment, and if i try and put it in either 2 or 3,when i press the power button, The computer light comes on and it is Orangey amber sort of.
It is normally green.
So i suppose it is not booting correctly =(
And i have seen that if In the bios you configure your computer to not use the onboard graphics, it will work then.
Well in my bios setup i get to primary display setup, and it was on auto.
The only options i could select were AUTO and ONBOARD
so no luck there
I have thought about flashing the bios and upgrading it, So i get more options or is it a matter of getting more ram, or a higher powered psu.
What does it mean by "Resources" in the code 12 error i receive ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be real happy if i can get my new card working !!
Thanks to anyone who replys
