No Ability to Set AGP Speed

Just as the title says, the catalyst drivers aren't letting me set my AGP speed. First my specs: I have an Asus P4C800-E Dlx with a Radeon 9600 pro 256mb. With both the latest catalyst drivers or the latest Omega drivers, I'm not able to change my AGP speed to 8x. When I try to change it, windows gives me some bull about testing stability, and that I must reboot. I reboot, and the AGP speed is set back to Off. OFF! Can anyone tell me why or how to fix it?

Thanks

Edit: I forgot to mention that the card stopped working in my computer yesterday. It works in my other computer (some Dell thing), and I'm running with my old 8500 128mb now, which runs at x4 AGP. Weird? Yes. Any Suggestions?
 
Hi,

Same problem here : i've P4 3.2C on Asus P4P800 Deluxe mobo with
radeon 9700 pro - catalyst 4.4

Each time i try to set other mode than off on Smartgard utilities, the
PC reboots, seems to become unstable and returns in OFF mode
(i already had the same pb on cat 4.3, 4.2...)

To ATI experts : any ideas ?? :eek: :eek:

Thx
 
Uninstall your video card. Reboot into safe mode, run driver cleaner. Then try re-installing the driver. If that doesnt work repeat process except install omega drivers.
As for the agp 8x thing, check in your bios for a setting for it.
 
Perhaps your bios is forcing it to 4x mode (my 7nnxp has a "force 4x" or "Auto" setting). I'm just listing the possibility, I'm sure you guys are smarter than that.
 
Ok, I got my 9600 working again without going through the safemode stuff because I already had another video card installed.

Phyberoptic: My problem is that I can't use any AGP speed, it's just turned off. I checked my bios though for that option, no dice. I'd never seen it before, but just wanted to make sure.
 
Ok, quick update: I don't know how or why, but after installing, reinstalling, uninstalling, cleaning, deleting, etc. My AGP speed is now set to 8x. :confused:
