The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP Problems after Radeon9800Pro Fan Failure

Asked by lxxBishopxxl in Miscellaneous Hardware, Computer Fans and Cooling, Video Cards

Tags: , ,

Hi all,

In April(2004) I bought an Ati Radeon 9800Pro.... 2 days ago it overheated,melted the retainer pins and poped the heatsink and fan...... a few seconds later my screen went black and the pc shutdown.... So my card is dead an Im waiting for an replacement from ATI..

In the meantime I gotta crawl back to my Nvidia card, the only thing is.... when I start up,
the log-in screen rarely appears... and if it does, as soon as i type my password... the screen blacks and my monitor goes into stand-by..
If I boot into safemode everything is ok, and if I use "Last known good" the system boots as normal, lets me log-in and then serches for drivers for Nvidia which all goes well.....(53.03_winxp2k_english_whql.exe I used these drivers before getting my Radeon and had no issues)
On re-boot though the same problem re-occurs.... screen blacks and monitor goes into stand-by...... If I dont re-boot after driver install.... Dev Manager reports the card is ok, drivers are 53.03 and all is well...... However... if I try to change my screen res...guess what..black screen....blah blah blah..

Ive removed all and any trace of ATI and Nvidia and tried with the same thing. Everything I try has the same results....switching off AGP fastwrite and 4x in the bios same deal.....

Im needing some help here guys as I dont know how long ATI will have my card for.... Anything you guys can come up with would be invaluable to me... Im at the point now that Im thinking maybe the ATI failure has caused my agp slot some serious damage....but the problem only occurs after Nvidias driver install ( which im guessing enables some extra stuff to call from the card and causes the fault.... but it is just a guess!)

Im at a loose end now as it seems ive tried everything.
Hence the max point award...

Many regards

Bishop
