Hey I recently purchased an origional Radeon X800Pro And plugged it into my Computer running a P4 2.8 and a Gigabyte 8I875 Ultra with a standard 400Watt powersupply. (recommends 300Watt) It started and the fans went ect but it just displayed a white image with random black squares. I then tested it on a friends computer with a 560Watt Enermax powersupply and his did the same so he tapped the card and then it worked fine which sounds weird. He got it running perfect we tesed it for artifacts it was all good. He has a Nforce2 Abit Nf7- Revision2 with a Athlon XP 2800+. I then tested on another mates comp with a 520Watt Teck powersupply with his nforce2 xp2800+ system and his worked perfect to. So we got his powersupply and placed it into my computer and yet it still displayed the same graphical error any ideas? I also have an audigy2 ZS and 1gig of twinmos windbond 3200 Ram and 2X segate 120gig sata harddrives and 1X 250gig maxtor sata drive and 1x dvd rom and 1xCDRW please i need to find out why it would work in theres and not mine sounds weird they both have athlon and nforce2 and they work.

    Well...seeing as how tapping it seemed to work...if you're feeling brave, I would try reseating the stock heatsink, just in case it got knocked loose and isn't making full contact with the core. Do you get any POST beeps/errors in your computer when booting with the card?

    Welcome to short-media.

    please consider formatting further posts a little better :)

    Try pushing the card in as hard as you can. It sounds like it may not be completely in the slot.

    DEFINITELY update your bios, it hadn't even occured to me that your bios might not recognize it for whatever reason. Also, you can try upping the voltage...but only one notch. Go ahead and make sure that the power connector is plugged in very tight, and that there's nothing blocking any connections.

    Does your motherboard support the speed at which the x800 is running? (2x,4x, etc.)

    Check if they're compatable, and if they are, then I'll have wasted your time.

    The Gigabyte 8I875 Ultra is based on the i875p (Canterwood) chipset. It supports the AGP rates of 2, 4, and 8x.
