I had my comp working well with a Gainward 6800 GT card (AGP). I wanted to try installing a Radeon 7000 card, to reduce the noise level. I've uninstalled all graphics card related drivers with a special uninstaller program available form guru3d.com.
With Radeon 7000, my comp has following symptoms:
- When booting to WinXP, it gets to desktop only in safe modes and VGA mode.
- When trying to boot normally, monitor goes to power saving mode when XP welcome screen should be displayed. After a while the monitor turns back on and the display is corrupted. If after this I push reset button, comp restarts but display stays corrupted. If I reset before screen corruption, it will restart ok.
- Initially also the text mode was a bit corrupted ("jerky" pixels), but this was remedied with setting AGP aperture from 256 mb to 64 mb.
- If I try to install any ATI driver, I get "Zero display device error" during install.
- Tried to change CPU-to-AGP driver to Microsoft default driver, doesn't help.
- If I try to repair/reinstall from WinXP CD, I get a BSOD 0x0000007B (0xf7c8163c, 0xc0000034, 0x00, 0x00) after setup says "Starting Windows".
Specs:
motherboard abit is7-e
cpu p4 nothwood 2.8 g
ram 1 g kingston ddr
graphics card radeon 7000
case Arctic Cooling Silentium T1
Any help would be appreciated ;- )
