9600XT and Apparent Voltage Problem?

[DrDeathGNJ]

Hey,

OK my brother has P4S333 Asus Motherboard 2400mhz Intel and 512 DDR MEM with absolute latest bios.
I put the XT in his system and nothing happens for like 5 minutes. Then the system finally posts and the BIOS pop up and the system is super slow. I check out the Power option in the BIOS and the voltage of cpu and MB are 0 or in the minus numbers.

This card for some reason is sucking the living poop out of this motherboard in power.

I have tried everything from pulling every card out of the MB and just have the Video card left in but still the same problem.
I even put in a new PSU but still same problem.
I have tried different Monitors thinking that might be it and just flat out unplugging everything minus a few needed things to boot a computer and still same problem.

Is this card drawing too much power for this Motherboard{hense is it too new} or is something else going on here?

Now I took this video card and put it in my system which has a newer Asus P4S533 MB in it the and the card works fine?

Sounds like a bad connector somewhere on his mobo? Or a bad motherboard itself?

What vid card does he have in there now?

The 9600xt isn't THAT much of a power hungry card.

What kind of AGP slot does his mobo have? What's the AGP voltage set to?

Cheers,

Mr. Pain

heres what u can do, get a multimeter and record the vgpu and vmem values to see how much they're running at?

check out my site for the llocations to record the values.

Thanks guys for your help! Through your suggestions I believe its the AGP slot on his motherboard! Everything else checks out but that!
Thanks again!
