Just built a largely new desktop, using a new NF7 mobo and a new Sapphire
ATI 9600SE 128 Mb graphics board with a Windows XP SP2 OEM OS and an 'old'
2400+ Thoroughbred Athlon (which incidentally runs happily at an overclocked
166 x 12.5 i.e. a non spec 333 MHz FSB!).
However, the graphics board is 'straight from the retail box' and all seems
to work well except that AGP is reported as disabled (by both Redline and
GART).
I have tried bios settings of both Auto and 8x, as well as trying to set it
through GART, but the machines always restarts with AGP disabled. Using the
supplied cd with Catalyst 4.6 drivers or the latest 4.8 set makes no
difference
I then tried using an ATI 9700 Pro graphics card (from another machine) in
the NF7 and this also reports AGP as disabled, though of course it runs at
8x in the other machine.
I am at a loss as to what may be the problem and would be grateful for any
suggestions as to what may be wrong.
