Hellow, I am glad to have found this site, My issue is with an ati powercolor x1550 512mb agp
on a K8M800 AMD DUAL CORE =4200 2.20 GHz Processor 2 GHz RAM (PLUS THE EXTRA 512 FROM THE VID CARD, WHEN IT WORKS OF COURSE!)
At the moment my video card is not conencted, I am relying merely on the onboard graphics card, what happened is the following After sucessfully installing the card this means drivers cd was used, dirctx 9c was installed, installed latest drivers (9.3) and set those up in windows as well. Everything worked fine, untill in Star Wars Battlefront II I decided to set the antialiasing to the highest settings (default was first setting 2x) them I went onto strat a mission, computer freezes, and My display shows constant green pixels and diagonal lines, it is unreadable. Si I removed it. Can anyone help? I wonder if the card itself has a CMOS I could reset\clear, as I is possible on a many motherboards?
Thanks in advance

Thank you map9966 for your response to my question!
I tried what you said, installed regcure ran it and it came up with like 644 errors\issues, proceeded to fix them, and after it was finished, I closed regcure. Turned off my computer, installed the vid card, installed the drivers off of the cd, it asked me to restart in order to complete the installation. I agree to the reboot, and windows would not boot up, I would see the windows logo start up screen, then it would crash, shut down, I must mention through all this the display seemed only a little better this time allowing me to barely distinguish between my desktop icons and my desktop background. Any other ideas? It's almost as if the vid card remembers that this is still the same computer, and defaults into the initial wrong setting of the antialiasing...Thanks in advance Looking for light at the end of the tunnel DAVE

Re: Display issue can card's cmos (if any), be reset?
There is no bios on the AGP card. Uninstall the PowerColor driver software including any other software the CD may have installed. Than open this link; http://www.pctuneuptips.com/recommends/clean/?gclid=CL2RiIrTmpICFSFMGgodODIPzg
Download RegCure & install. Let RegCure clean your system.
Shut down the system & install your AGP x1550 card. Re-install the driver software. Try playing the game with default settings. Your system & AGP card has more than enough power to play the game. If the game messes up or your system freezes send it back to PowerColor. Its not your system it has to be the card.
Have you tried entering windows in safe mode with the AGP card installed? Boot the system & press the F5 key every 2 seconds.
Choose safe mode.
I may be incorrect about the bios. Went to PowerColor & went through their FAQ section. It seems some cards, (AGP do have a bios). See this link; (For HD2600 XT 512MB AGP)
You'll have to call PowerColor or email them & see if they have software you can use to reset your AGP X1550 while in windows. Go to the next link for contact;

go through the link and download the drivers and install it
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/6-11-pre-r300_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_38185.exe
Hello rdrhomesite0, I found latest driver for your ATI PowerColor R96-LD3 RADEON 9550 video card fully compatible with Windows Vista, Xp. Click save driver to your computer, install the driver, don't forget to restart the computer. Here is the link.
Copy and paste link into your browser and press enter.
There are a few things that can cause no display on the monitor. That single beep means POST = Power On Self Test. Post has tested everything on you're board to be good. The cable between video card & monitor may be bad or not connected correctly (Swap out the cable as last resort). 2. You're monitor is defective, try swapping it with known working monitor. 3. You're video card is not functioning. Lastly, when you reset the system cmos/bios everything went back to default. This means you're bios is now using the onboard PCI video graphics. Remove you're radeon 9600 video card. Try booting the system. You should see display again. The only way to test you're radeon would be to boot to the bios & set bios to boot using the AGP radeon. You need to change Init Display First to AGP & not PCI. If you loose video than you know you're AGP card is bad. Reset the cmos/bios before adding another AGP card or you will not get display. This setting is on pg 3-5. Integrated Peripherals. If you need you're manual you can download it from this link: http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=NF7-S2G&fMTYPE=Socket+A
