| 772281 | 2009-05-12 01:22:00 | Just an update. Box says card is AGP 8x (0.8V), 4x (1.5v) or Universal. Tried in another machine and same thing so going back to supplier. I have another 3.3V/1.5V card here so will try that while other away for testing. Terry thanks for the links, very imformative. Cheers |

| 772283 | 2009-05-24 05:19:00 | Flashing the BIOS does not make sense. The card sounds as though it is faulty 'out of the box'. It should at least default to VGA upon installation and before its drivers are installed. It does to me.. I know it's not likely but it IS possible that a quirk of BIOS or card design could cause under some situtations an un-usable card until the BIOS was changed to solve the issue - and I have seen this kind of thing listed in some BIOS release notes as a fix for some issues where cards cannot work. But I also agree that dead card is usually more likely, and as berryb posted back, it was certainly the case here |
