Can't plug a AGP Video Card in

Phalanx-Imawano
I have a ASUS P4V8X-MX motherboard which has onboard video and a AGP Slot. Problem is that if I try plugging in a AGP video card and power up, the system just beeps and the screen stays blank (regardless of where the monitor is plugged).

I am running a Pentium D 805 (stock right now) And my motherboard utility (uGuru) is reporting idle temps around 60-70 degrees celcius. It reports a system temp of 25-28 which is fine with me, running 6600 GT's in SLi and 2 HDD's.

Blank Screen After XP Splash Screen. NO SAFE MODE

shassouneh
Hi All, This is having me pull out hairs to no avail. Here's the deal. Whenever I try to boot windows all I get is a blank screen immediately after the Windows XP splash screen. I have a feeling this has something to do with ATI drivers (since they are crappy).

Hi, I have Windows XP SP2 and I'm having serious troubles with the mouse. I can't use it. Windows loads normally but the mouse pointer is frozen. The buttons don't work either. I have two mice. The primary one is a PS/2 port mouse and the another is an old COM port mouse.

GeForce 6600 SLI?

tool_462
Anyone know if this card will work with SLI? It says SLI but I am curious as to if it will work with this motherboard. The reason I wonder, is because there is no SLI bridge connector on the top of the card but this board comes with one.
