Well, I want to avoid that as I use Linux on this machine as well as Windows and having the Voodoo 4 monitor as my console screen would be a bit annoying.

But I did try it just to get it working as a temporary solution. I booted fine, windows loaded, however, it did not see my onboard video, just the voodoo4.

When I rebooted back with the integrated as primary, the same problem happened again.

I'm hoping to avoid re-installing windows as that's a pain I want to avoid. That and the problem could happen again.

Any further ideas?

My primary card is the integrated GeForce 7050. I have the bios set to boot from the integrated rather then the voodoo as I only need to use it as a secondary card.

I'm trying to run my 4500 PCI in a dual monitor setup. No matter what drivers I use I keep getting Invalid Display settings when i go to my display properties, saying that the drivers were written for a previous version of windows.

I'm running winxp sp3 on an asus P5N73-AM, my primary display is the integrated video.

I've tried the included windows drivers sfft v1.5, sfft alpha 48 and the Koolsmoky drivers. I've uninstalled in safe mode, pulled board and  re-inseted.
Nothing gets past that invalid settings.

The board works as I accidentaly booted to it with some wrong bios setting, but didn't let it get past initial post.


Any ideas?

Ok, I set PCI as the primary card on my BIOS. Seems to have done the trick, only problem is now I'm not able to access all of the features of my Radeon card in the AGP slot, mainly the TV out of the card.

So I'm thinking I'm going to need to replace the motherboard, unless someone has another idea that could help me. If I can avoid replacing my motherboard it would be better, cash is short and I'm still running with SDRAM so a new motherboard means going to DDR which would be costly for me

I'll try that.
If that is the issue though, what is the root problem?
Since I'm running Linux as well (haven't got the dual going there yet) and spend a bit of time int he console, I'd rather have my AGP card as the primary.

I have a Voodoo 4 PCI with 32 MB of ram. I was working fine as a secondary device until my 2nd monitor died and it was unused for about 3 weeks. Now when I use the card it seems to work fine, but when I move any windows onto the 2nd desktop and basically have the card do any work, my computer freezes up. I'm using SFFT alpha 39.

IT problem is less pronounced in lower resolutions, but it still happens even down to 800x600. It just takes longer to freeze

Does this mean the card is dying or is it that it's over heating? I"m using stock cooling and the fan runs fine, I also have 80mm fans blowing over all of the PCI cards to add extra cooling.

I'm jsut at a loss
