I've tried it set to PCI, PCI-E and AGP. All with the same result... Thanks for the advice all the same.

Yes I completely formatted the drive and did a fresh install of XP. My general opinion is its very hit or miss. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

It's a (new) Thermaltake TR2-420 ATX 12V 2.0. I'm assuming its a 420 watt supply. This looks like it: Thermaltake TR2-420 Another weird thing, I conneted it to a different VGA monitor and it booted to windows - with a display - once. It wouldn't do it anymore... All the other times Windows...

I'm (unfortuantely) back... I sold my AGP X800XT which was incompatible with the board, an bought a BFG 7900 GT. This works great until you install the drivers, then it black screens on boot up BUT, you can hear that windows continues to load (this didn't happen with the ATI card). I've...

Well in the end I gave up... My AGP X800XT is going on Ebay and I just won an 7900GT. The lesson I learnt is that next time I buy a motherboard or any significant piece of hardware, I'm going to check for compatability issues BEFORE I shell out the money. Thanks to all those people who...

[/i] Oops sorry... I put the beefier PSU in the problem pc which didn't yield any results. Not sure if this makes any difference but I put the PSU in an 'already not good' copy of Windows XP installed. The only thing I've yet to try is to reformat with the new PSU in situ.

Right, I've installed Catalyst 5.11 drivers with limited success. My machine now boots into Windows about every 6th or 7th time. On these boots the pc runs sweet, I played a good hour of Half Life 2 today with no hiccups. When the pc doesn't boot, it either gets stuck on the XP loading screen...

I've swapped over my PSU, going to give it one more go from a fresh install... If that doesn't work the X800XT is going on Ebay and I'll order an Nvidia card. I'll post the results after I've tried it.

It's a 300W Mercury (Pentium 4 ATX compatible) PSU.... basically the one that came with the case which is about 3/4 years old. I have a beefier one in another machine, might swap them over to see if it makes any difference.

Wiped everything clean for a fresh install last night. Installed XP, Hyperion drivers and then the latest Catalyst drivers. Everything was running sweet (no freezing, booting everytime), even had the on board sound running (left the Audigy out). I then went to install my wireless card and...

Cheers for the quick reply... I will give the onboard sound a go, suppose I just like to have the 'EAX' sound, not that I noticed much difference. The X800XT card cost me the best part of £350 only two years ago so I would rather keep it. As far as cleaning out the old drivers go, this...

Lo' all, first post to this forum and I'm afraid its asking for help... Bought this board yesterday as a stepping stone to a major upgrade. I'm running an Core 2 Duo E6600, 2xDDR 400 RAM, an Asus X800XT AGP gfx card and an SB Audigy 2ZS. I've installed Windows and the new Hyperion drivers...
