| 251735 | 2004-07-12 06:59:00 | Uninstalled NVIDIA drivers and ripped out the old Ti4600 - put in 9800 PRO, connected extra power and started up system. Got into Windows OK and proceeded to install MSI ATI drivers - this went smoothly and asked me to restart and I clicked OK. Upon rebooting Windows stopped on startup and told me it had to check multiple (almost all) partitions for consistency (using CHKDSK) and found some problems on some and none on others. I get to the logon screen and am told that my user profile is corrupt and then get blasted with multiple "Delayed Write" error messages for all partitions. I assume the driver install went astray so reload an old image of my C:\ and try some Catalyst drivers - same thing happens. I can get into Safe Mode and uninstall the drivers but even that sometimes does not work and the system reboots when it is entering safe mode! The system still has to check my partitions on startup when the old image is restored. Any ideas??? Please Help Specs: XP Home SP1, XP2000+ @ 2600+, 512MB DDR333, 400W PSU |

| 251737 | 2004-07-12 07:41:00 | Hi HadO, I presume you have overclocked your machine, going from what you have written. I had similar problems when upgrading to my Ti4600 from my old videocard. I found after extensive tests, the fact that my machine was overclocked it wouldn't run, putting it back to defaults fixed my problem. Hope this helps |

| 251738 | 2004-07-12 09:03:00 | Hi have you tried flashing your bios because I had the exact same problem when i installed my 9600XT then I flashed my bios and used the latest catalyst drivers then it worked sweet as. Hope that helps | overdrive_5000 (1684) | ||
| 251739 | 2004-07-12 09:58:00 | Are you talking about motherboard or graphics card BIOS? I'm pretty sure I've flashed my mobo up to latest release - will have to check . What happened to your system? It's strange that just installing the drivers has had such interesting side effects - my winxp user profile gets corrupted every time and the CHKDSK programme insists on checking the file system of my partitions on startup each time . I have given up at the moment and will try some more things tomorrow with a fresh brain . If all else fails I am considering making a backup image and reinstalling Windows (I would really want to avoid this) . |

| 251740 | 2004-07-12 11:01:00 | Likely you have remainders of the Nvidia drivers in your system. What you need to do is get one of those detonator destroyer programs, or something similar to kill them out completely as they remain in the system and slow down your card. Even then you might not be rid of them. What I did was a fresh install of windows and my performance increased 600 points in 3dMark03, so something was holding it back! Get the Catalyst 4.7s as well if you haven't already. |

| 251741 | 2004-07-12 11:52:00 | Have you tried any of the so called Windows "Tweaks" in the past. There was one for memory management that was a bad idea anytime but fatal with ATI video cards included. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 251742 | 2004-07-13 10:23:00 | Hmmm... The drama continues... Did a fresh install of Windows 2000 Pro and spent an entire day getting the system back up to speed (everything was running fine) and what do you know my logon profile got corrupted again and Windows now fails to boot with error: AUTOCHK not found, skipping AUTOCHK and then blue screens. Cant get into safe mode or anything. I'm starting to think my hard drive is dying or something - I'm really running out of options here... :o( |

| 251743 | 2004-07-13 11:18:00 | Could it be a power issue? Perhaps you should try the computer with your old video card back in. Presuming it works fine then, I would most likely attribute it to the fact that the ATI card requires an extra power connector. |

You did remember to plug in the extra power connector for your 9800pro? On the MSI card its a small floppy connector at the top of the card near the HSF. The 9800 uses alot more power than the ti4400 so i'd be willing to bet thats your problem. |
