Hi,
I have a Shuttle with the FB61 mainboard.
I just bought a ATI all-in-wonder 9800 graphics card from
Overclockers.co.uk (their own brand one @ £98.00 excl. VAT)
I haven't got a lot of experience with home building, but I thought that
adding a graphics card was within my capabilities. There were no
comprehensive instructions for what to do with the card, unfortunately.
Here is what I did:
------------------------
I ran the installation CD and I believe I have installed the drivers for
the card.
Instructions said remove existing drivers - unfortunately I could not
find a way of uninstalling these (could find no option in "Add Remove
software", or anything in the program menu.)
I plugged the card in the AGP slit. Could not find a free power
connector on the mainboard, but a buch of open-ended connectors were
coming out of the power supply. The power connector from the card
fitted, so I used one of these. it appears to be working, because the
fan on the card is working.
However when I boot-up the machine with the card connected, the monitor
remains black. I can hear the sounds of Windows XP starting, but I don't
see anything. Tried removing the card a few times and putting it back
in, no change.
I downloaded the latest drivers ( I think) from this page:
http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonwdm-xp.html?type=xp&prodType=graphic&prod=productsXPdriver&submit.x=11&submit.y=5&submit=GO%21
When running the install file I get a msg saying that the correct
hardware or software cannot be found.
---
What could be going on? I can't think of anything else to try!
Regards
Jo
