Boot up Problems With ATI Radeon 9550 (256mb AGP)

Vacamann
Hey, I just recently reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 2k on my desktop and now my video card, ATI Radeon 9550 (256mb AGP), does not allow windows 2000 to boot up when the driver is loaded. I updated Win 2k as much as possible with the windows update tab.

ATI 9800 Pro 128MB 8x

Well what I wanted to ask is if anyone knows why my computer will not boot up when I install a 9800 Pro 128MB card! I plugged everything in properly and even have a 400W power supply! Everything should be fine.

VGA/video card problems

laxkor
I recently installed a new intel d915pbl mobo along with a pentium 4 3. 0ghz 800fsb 530 hyperthreading cpu. The video card I installed was a radeon x700 pro PCIE. When I boot up from just the floppy, the screen displays random colors in a grid like fashion.

NT 4.0 Compatible mainboard please

wahnula
Hello, I have been searching in vain to find a decent mainboard that supports oldie-goldie NT 4. 0, for a small-office server. I'd LOVE to eventually run Pentium D but will accept HT for now. Queries to Intel, MSI & Gigabyte told me to look on their terribly incomplete websites.

With the above cards in mind, which one would be best in terms of quality and value? I just got my first job (I'm 16) and I'm getting my paycheck in 2 weeks. . . I make $13 an hour working 75 hours per 2 weeks.

cpu/mobo compatibleness

Tyrian
I'm trying to piece together a computer for my parents, and my question is so simple I feel dumb not being able to answer it myself. How do I know which motherboards are compatible with the processor they want? Specifically, I'm basing this computer around a Celeron 2.
