My current setup is as follows ...
Asus A7V133 [rev 1.05. (with dot)] with VIA 4in1 driver v4.43
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
AGP Slot: Video - 128MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
PCI Slot 1: -----
PCI Slot 2: NIC - 3Com 3C905C-TX-M
PCI Slot 3: Sound - Creative Labs SB Live! 5.1
PCI Slot 4: USB Card
PCI Slot 5: -----
Operating System: Windows 98 Second Edition
The problem started creeping up last night ...
- bad pixels appear randomly on the screen
- the system freezes when I move the mouse
- something was mildly burning / overheating
I powered off the system overnight. Turned it back on this morning.
It worked briefly. Then, the problem started up again.
On one reboot, I got the following message ...
"You have not connected the power extension cable to
your Radeon 9800 video card
Please refer to the "Getting Started Guide" for
proper hardware installation !!!"
After removing the video card, cleaning and reinserting,
the message (above) went away. But, I noticed that
the fan on the video card was not spinning. So,
my guess is that the video card is overheating.
Hopefully, this can be fixed somehow. Any ideas?
Also, I now get the following "warning" message ...
"The ATI Control Panel failed to initialize because
no ATI driver is installed, or ATI driver is not working properly.
The ATI Control Panel will now exit."
And, the only display setting that works is 640 x 480
It will not take any other resolution.
