I have mentioned this before but am now really stumped.
I have sent back under warrenty and recieved a new Graphics card.
I have downloaded latest bios.
When I try to start the computer I cannot even get to the bios screen. On the 2 Leds on the motherboard I get a few numbers and then it always stops at FF.
When I put in my very old matrox G400 it boots up fine.
I had managed to use the machine for about 5 months with the Geforce 4 with the occasional need to reset 4 or 5 times before the monitor went woom and it booted up.
I have tried to start up with all usb devices removed and and the fan on the graphics card unplugged and the main cooler unplugged as someone mentioned that I could be short of power. This did not help.
Could it be something to do with the 8x agp that the card can use but the motherboard may not support?
win xp home sp1 and all updates
Epox 8kta3+pro
512 sd ram
Geforce 4 ti4200 (XFS)
Sb Audidgy
DVD player
TDK reader writer
Maxtor 30 gig 7200 HD
Western 40 gig 7200 hd with system
56k modem
300w PSU
Iiyama Vision master pro 454
Scanner and printer
Any help appreciated
