Problem with FX500 VGA

posted by arman1357 on Mar 26, 2008


Dear all...
Please help me with this. I've just bought a new 8VTAI MB and an FX5500,
The mainboard is suposed to support AGP8x, but in the set up page it only shows 2x and 4x. I've updated the MB bios with recent ones (2005,2006) but no result!
CPU is Athlon XP2200+ which can't be recognized with its real frequency. System clk is 133 MHz, and CPU rating automatically goes to 13.gx so I have 1800 MHz instead of 2200 :(
I can't even play my old games :((((
Would you please give me a hand.

In your bios, please enable the
AGP 3.0 Calibration cycle. Also, make sure your Aperture size is correct to the size of the card.

Also, in bios under PC health, check to see what the VAGP is running at, if it is not 1.5v, then your card is not getting enough power.

Also, in the advanced chipset features, make sure that the Init Display First is set to AGP.

When these are all set, reboot and go back into bios, check to see if you can change AGP to 8x now.
