refuse to boot up when I put an ATI 9600 All In Wonder video card in the AGP slot?

It is a Shuttle sk43g.

I mean when I put the vid card in, the system flat out refuses to power up. The minute I remove it, it will boot up just fine.

Any ideas?

power supply?

by **10sun** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 9:47 am

200w PSU, but it is only running an underclocked Semperon 2400, 1x 7200rpm HD, 1gb corsair DDR ram.

I would think that would be more than enough power for that setup.

Hmm I dunno, I thought those all-in-wonders were power hogs. Those are the ones with the cable connector yes? Nothing else makes sense other than lack of power.

200w is a very light power supply. Are you getting any bios beep codes, or is it just not powering on at all? Also can you try it in a different machine? What type of vid card is in it before the ATI?

200w PS?

I didn't think those still existed in the wild.

As I recall, the recomendations for the first 1Ghz processors were for a minimum power supply of 300w. This of course depends on how many devices you wish to plug in, but the 300w recomendation was for a "standard" machine.

some older AGP cards are 3.3v

most mobo now look for 1.5v AGP cards

If you have an older AGP card, the system may not boot up

I only know this cause I was looking at my mobo manual last night, and saw that(ps, i may have the 3.3v and the 1.5v reveresed, but you get the idea. non-matching voltages is likely the cause)

The video card is supported per the manufacturer. It is the onboard video causing issues I believe.

Is there an option in bios to disable it if another adapter is present?

by **10sun** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 12:03 pm

nope. nor is there a jumper that is easily discernable as the one to disable onboard video.

There should be a setting in the bios that tells it which video card is the primary display. When you say it doesn't boot, does the power supply even fire up or does nothing happen?

by **10sun** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 12:34 pm

Tested with another agp video card, booted up fine with an old GeForce 2ti.

Nothing at all happens with the ATI card.

AGP voltage or power supply issue then.

by **Martrae** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 1:21 pm

Does the card work in a different machine? Might just be a dead card.

by **10sun** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 1:23 pm

The pc wouldn't simply refuse to even power up if it were a dead card I don't think.

I'm testing that out later this evening in any case at my friend's house... he still runs an AGP card in his main box.

i'm still going to assume I"m right!
