White Screen During Bootup - X850Pro - Help me!

alexus · Aug 3, 2006, 08:38 PM

Hey,
I just got my x850Pro AGP and when Windows XP boots (XP logo on back screen) the screen becomes white like some one sparyed the compressed gas... well also after boot up windows gows hell sllow, but games are OK ...

What could it be? 110 Degrees outside? But in room I got 28C and on Idle card goes 42C (70C loaded though on GPU)

Help Pls

Welcome to TPU!

Could you please give your full system specs?
Also, you might want to check and make sure you're running the latest drivers. And if this card is an upgrade, make sure you uninstalled the old drivers. they could be causing conflicts.

I just removed old Nvidia drivers... still the same sthing ... screen sreazes, and I dont mean like stops responding i mean actually goes white like its in Antartica. And thats happens before any drivers are loaded :-(

As to the drivers I still downloaded the latest once

System:
Celeron 2.4
1Gb Ram
ASRock Motherbord
x850Pro AGP
D-Sub Sumsung Monitor

oh ya I only got 250W Powersupply, but dont really think that should b big problem even though Min requirements are 300W i think... the system overall is stable.. ans I never seen power problems ven if i run 130W

Does your motherboard support AGP 8X, or AGP 4X?

This is problem because X850 cards requires more power (min. 350W). Start with changing ofthe PS (even for a test) or test the card on other PC just to be sure what is the problem.

Might be the PSU.

alexus · Aug 3, 2006, 09:35 PM

Ok... Well have to look for new power suppy then. I only got another for 300W but there capasitors are about to blow up... So I teste it somwhere and hopefully that would solve the problem

PS: does it really eats tha much power?

whats a problem with Celeron ? the only diference from Pentium is the L2 cache and FSB

randomperson21 · Aug 3, 2006, 09:39 PM

alexus · Aug 4, 2006, 06:05 PM

Just installed 500W PSU, and still have the thing with whitind out of the bootup screen... Still slow performance....

dolf · Aug 4, 2006, 06:41 PM

Test it on another PC. Is your card unlocked to 16 pipes?

alexus · Aug 4, 2006, 06:53 PM
