Did you take it out and put the new one in? It could be a "freak of nature" card and fryed your computer when you turned it one, it happend to my friend he put some new RAM in his pc and it stoped working, turns out his mobo was fryed.

My conclusion: that he shocked it or pressed to hard on the motherboard and put one those "invisible cracks" in it.

btw radeon ownz j00

radeon >>>>>> Nvidia, Nvidia lies on benchmarks and they make there cards to work better with certain games (commom benchmark games) and also to optimize when a benchmark test is run.

Lets not turn this into a nvidia bashing thread

LOL Evil really wants to start a nVidia vs. ATi battle but all he wants to know is why he bought a broken 9800 Pro (9800SE).

Evil3lf · 12-November-03, 04:26 AM

sry I'm a Radeon fanboy what can I say?

']['ombstone R.I.P. · 12-November-03, 04:45 AM

Theres really no point in starting a war because both ATI and nVidia have their own strong points. They say RADEON will perform better with HL2 and GeForce better for DOOM III.

As for the original question;

Have you tried disabling on-board video in your BIOS?

Your motherboard may not support agp 8x/4x, What is your system specs?

TekXoID · 12-November-03, 06:49 AM

Did you hook up the 9800SE to the power supply?

Did you disable the Integrated S3 ProSavage8 graphics chip BEFORE installing the radeon?

MetallicaSigma · 12-November-03, 04:32 PM

well i connected everything exaclty how its supposed to be. i know the card works cause i tested it on my friends dell mobo. im pretty sure its bios but the comp (ie. the mobo and cpu and everything) this ill work. i am currently using a geforce4 mx440 se video card. my mobo supports 4X agp as does the card. i know nothing is conn. bad, just the bios , but to add more sh@t to my problem when i tryed to flash the bios with a floppy start, the bios neglected (denied) the floppy, im really pissed at this radeon crap. i just wanna if its worth keepin or buying a new mobo and all(doing that either way) oh and nvidia and ati both own, also compared to a geforce FX5800 ULTRA which is better? the radeon 9800 non-pro softmodded or the fx5800? thanks and sorry for big post

MetallicaSigma · 12-November-03, 04:35 PM

oh and ps.yea since i got the mx440 i did, than i uninstalled drivers and tried conn again. but still, dont work.

RADEON

I'm just a graphics crack-hoe... Who-ever is gonna get me speed is my new best friend.

I used to not be a big fan of ATI, but that was before they got a little more friendly with a lot of the games. Drivers used to be real temperamental too!

floatingtrem · 13-November-03, 10:34 PM

the 9800 np and SE w/ 256bit memory will kill that 5800, if you mean 5900 its most likely more reliable,

doom will run on nvidia "better" cause ATI leaked the alpha (even though the game was origionaly optimised for ATI)

half life will run on ATI "better", cause ATI gave valve the most money

none of it means ****- and the performance differences will be small, if any
