What voltage does the mobo throw out and check that its the correct one for the graphics card. Tbh its one hell of a waist going AGP these days on buying a new card... Its only money wasted..

I know that AGP are on thier last legs, but i did not want to upgrade my system at the moment as the hardware is changing so quickly that its hard to knoww hich platform to go for and i cant afford it.  Its ok if you have the money to upgrade, but i do not.

Still no joy with the card, im not buying Abit rubbish again, fair enough the board has been overal good its just i cant believe the hassle im having with getting this card to work  :cry: .

Abit have responded to my email, but have just told me to get intouch with the graphics card manufacturer, which i have and they just go through the usual route of is the card seated properly etc...

Seriously fedup with computers  :cry:

Ive never had any problems with Abit tbh, wish I could swap my current Asus board for an Abit.  :cry:

I agree White Giant Abit are usually very good boards, i have always bought Abit, its just so annoying that you buy a card which should work with the NF7-S but doesnt.

To add insult to Abit i have just tried it in a PCChips and it powersup and displays lovely, i mean if it will work in a PCChips cheapo motherboard then why in the heck wont it work with the NF7 - S?

Ive even tried upping the AGP voltage to 1.7v and chipset,  still no display??

Join the club. They are like women, only less expensive

I do remember with a 6800gt card that they had trouble with abit mobos, they seemed to seat ok but there was a capacitor very close to the agp port that the card hit and stopped it from working.
It was only on an abit mobo, and you had to modify the card to make it fit.

Well i guess im gonna have to change the motherboard to one that the card works in as im a little afraid to sell in on incase buyer buys it for present and the dam thing doesnt work in his motherboard either.

I will no longer be supporting ABit as they have been no use .

Even my local pc shop was a load of rubbish, so i told them where to go .

It seems to get advice from a shop or even to test the card is like beating your head against a brick wall!

Really fedup  :cry:
