ATI X1900 graphi with Asus P5B Motherboard crashed Windows!

[tonyatn]

My new installation of the ATI X1900 graphic card with Asus P5Bdeluxe Motherboard showed true incompatibility and crashed windowsXPpro!
I realize that I may have to update the Intel chipset, but Please! This thing scares me...I had to install Windows twice and now I'm using a cheap graphic card just to use the system before I tackle the problem.
Please, someone direct me to the Website(s) needed to update and make these two components compatible... :x

No Floppy; I may have to get one to install updates.
I will get around to figuring this out and downloading updates. However, please direct me if you can, to a specific download. I.e., Do I update the Intel Chipset? Or the Asus Mobo? Both? Update via Floppy disc? Do I put all the updates on the computer THEN install the new Graphics card?
I will probably get around to it until next week and I won't be at my computer in the next 24hours. But do post as many options/answers if you want!
THANKS!
Tony

I have the same configuration - and the same problem. I've found that if you don't install Media Center it works. I tried installing the latest drivers - both from Asus and Intel. Neither helped.

If you find a fix let me know. ATI said that they think my board is defective. They want me to return it to my vendor. I think the issue is software, but what choice do I have?

Let me know if you find a solution. I will do the same.

Use Asus update and update your bios, maybe the issue has been addressed.

Been there done that. Re-installed windows, Reinstalled Netware, Reinstalled ATI'S software. Tried earlier version of ATI's software and drivers, Flashed the MOBO Bios, Tried ASUS's drivers for the chip set off their web site. Tried Intel's drivers dated 11-21-06. Spent like 2 nights on this. I don't think I've missed much other than ATI's hardware. That is my next step. On black Friday I spent like 4 hours with ATI's tech support. They said they think it's their board. If this problem is wide-spread I would guess software issues. Of course anyone could get a bad batch of chips. I hate sending stuff back, but I'll give it a try if no one can come up with something I haven't tried yet.

After this I'll switch to another manufaturer's video card. I can always go USB for capture and the tuner.

I have an older AGP all-in-wonder. It worked great. Too bad there seems to be a problem here.

have you tried install the chipset drivers that came with the motherboard? I had some problems with the sapphire x1900xt drivers screwing with my windows xp but it works great now after installing the intel chipset drivers.
