The goods:
Antec True480w (1 day old) (WAS: Enermax EG465P-VE 430w)
Epox 8K7A+
1.4ghz T-bird, Delta SK-6
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Corsair PC2400 512mb RAM
2x 40gb WD RAID0
1x 80gb WD
Video cards tested with:
AGP: Hercules Prophet II [GeForce 2 GTS 32mb]
AGP: Chaintech GeForce 4 Ti 4600
AGP: Sapphire Radeon 9700 Atlantis Pro
PCI: Matrox Millenium 2
To not bore you and be efficient, I will give you a bulleted list of the event chronologically:
-Took out CPU and reapplied ASII (1month ago)
-Put it back in, videocard (gef2 at the time) would't post. It finally did after the third powerup and a long wait
-Got a Gef4, wouldn't work in AGP 4x, later on it started randomly rebooting my box...
-Reset BIOS on mobo, flashed w/ newest BIOS... to no avail.
-Decided to RMA Chaintech and get the 9700
-Got Radeon and new PSU (so I could get better performance on the 5v) and now the video card doesn't post all, even with multiple retries and waiting for a long time (patience used to work on the gef4)
Some notes:
-The machine works no problem w/ the Matrox Millenium II (PCI)
-Any of the above AGP card doesn't work properly
-I have tried reposition the card in the AGP slots many times, I also have used dustoff on the AGP slot. Neither helped
-Error codes are random and haven't given me any help.
I'm so at a loss its not even funny. I thought it was the PSU, so I replaced it... now everything points to my mainboard.
Any ideas? Please help.
