Very desperate for help. Here is the problem:
With my Radeon 9800pro installed I boot up and get artifacts / gibberish on screen and then it freezes after the black Windows XP startup screen. So I took out the 9800p and booted using integrated video on my motherboard. Removed all old ATI drivers. Now every 3 or 4 times when I boot up the monitor doesn't come out of standby (the light goes back and forth from green to amber, then just stays amber) and I constantly get stop errors (usually Kernel_data_in_page_error, sometimes IRQ_not_less_than_or_equal). Once in a while it just randomly restarts. Also, sometimes the harddrives are not detected, it just pauses after the mem test on startup.
I have tried the following to fix:
Tried a new video card
Tried new memory
Formatted / clean install
The only way I can boot normally is if I unplug and take out my 9800p and use the integrated video on my motherboard. Still get stop erros, etc... About 6 months ago the video card worked fine. My only other idea is that the Motherboard (AGP slot maybe?) is bad or the power supply is too small (but I doubt that).
Specs are as follows:
P4/3.0C with Intel 865GBF motherboard
Win XP - SP2
512mb Kingston HyperX (also tried testing w/ PNY)
Radeon 9800pro 128mb
Antec True 350watt
WD Raptor HD
Latest BIOS/Chipsets/CAT drivers...
9800p is plugged in, BIOS is on AGP...
Thanks for any help, posts, suggestions. Like I said, I am desperate and really don't want to replace my motherboard if I don't have to.
