I have an old 8KHA+ that's been fine for years, Rev 2.0, caps OK, Athlon
XP 1900+, latest BIOS upgrade. It has an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro. I have an
extra ATI Radeon AIW 9800 Pro I'd like to install, but when I do, the
power supply just kicks out instantly upon pressing the start button. PS
is Antec 430 True. I tried a different PS, Vantec 420, same thing. I put
the 9700 back in, have to unplug the ATX connector from the board, plug
back in, presto, starts right back up where it left off. Have tried many
times, nothing. Poof, shuts down before a fan even gets to make one
revolution!!
Oh, the 9800 came out of one of my other computers, known good.
Is there something about the AGP on a 9800 that won't let it run in this
board? Voltage different?
I have another 8KHA+ in another box, perhaps I'll try that one, but
expect the same result.
Any suggestions?
