9200SE Help needed

[SidewinderX]

I recently bought and built a new computer for myself, and I bought a CELESTICA 9200SE to put into my family computer when I put my 9600pro in my new one. So I built my new computer, and initailly put the 9200SE into it, just so i can see if it boots and what not, and I didn't want to deal with the family computer (A Dell) at the time.

So everyhting went fine when the 9200se was in my new computer.

Then I got around to switching the cards, and I put the 9200se into the dell, which is when the problems started.

I booted the the comp up, and there was corruption everywhere on the sceen. lines of it. And after a little bit, it stoped responding.

I intially thought I had the refresh rate too high for the card or soemthing, so I booted into safe mode (which worked jsut fine), and learned that the refresh rate was at 60hz.

So I htink uninstalled and re-installed that 4.4cats (in safe mode) and that didn't help at all.
I then, following others advice, uninstalled all video drivers, then atempted to install various revs of the catalyst drivers, to no avail.

It works fine on default agp drivers (by fine i mena w/o corruption)

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Or where else I cna go to ask? (Guru3d hasn't helped, experts-echange hasn't helped so far, and hardforum is down)

Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

It worked fine
on this system:
Abit NF7
AMD 2400 Barton Mobile
Win2K
2x256MB PC3200 Mushkin Blue
1x120GB Seagate 7200rpm 8mb cache

I didn't work on
p4 1.8 ghz
intel D845EPT2 mobo
2x40gb hdd
256mb pc2100

Is there corruption while it's still booting in dos mode? Have you checked the bios settings for AGP Aperture and AGP Port speed? Are you certain the fan is still spinning?(if it has one)

It has a passive heatsink.
The apature is set at 64mb
it's dell BIOS so i can't Feck with the port speed

There is no corruption in safe mode, and there is no coruption for a little while in XP. As soon As I start to do something, like log onto an account, then the corruption kicks in.

:naughty: Speakin' of Aperture size... I got a Sony VAIO a while back. So, this means that I cannot access some settings in BIOS(Manufacturer constrictions). I am wondering if there's any program that I can get that will enable me to change my aperture size.

Sorry if I got off topic, didn't want to start a new thread on something little as this.

Did you disable the PCI card in the bios?
