I've had this problem for 6 months now. My agp slot will only run with default windows pci-to-pci drivers... forcing my radeon 9700 pro into pci mode and cutting performance.
I've tried *all* of the released nforce drivers and they all do the same exact thing. The computer boots into windows after installing the agp to pci host driver, and as soon as it gets through the "windows xp" screen with the moving bars I get 2 dots at the top of the screen (the rest is black) and the system reboots.
This happened from the very first time I installed this motherboard, this graphics card worked fine on a previous abit nforce2 motherboard. And since getting this motherboard i have reinstalled windows, drivers, service pack in every possible order several times over to no avail.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, help me.
Everything else works great on this board and I would hate to have to spend shipping to rma it.
Thanks,
Eliot
