PCI card

[Zapallar]

Hi,

I haved a Matherboard PC133 M755LMR, it's have two slots PCI free.

I try to install graphic card, the model is PV-S83A-BR from PINE Group, XP2800 PCI 32 MB.

The O.S. is Windows 98 seg ed.

The problem is that when I connect the monitor to card, I can see only character blurred, and when star win98 appear vertical black lines.

When the desktop appear, only I can see a big blot green.

I foun information referent to the MatherBoard, and say the next.

2xPCI IDE Interace-Support for IDE devices (PIO Mode4, DMA Mode4 and Ultra DMA/66)

PLease I need your help .


Thank

Welcome!
haven't used that board before but from it's specs at the pcchips site I would say a starting point would be to get into the bios and switch off the onboard graphics as well as to set the graphics card preference in bios to PCI rather than AGP (if it has this option).

Wow it has 2 whole PCI slots ... that's it!

I hope you are remembering to swap the monitor cable over to the new card ... also check which card is giving output by swapping monitor cable whilst the system is running.

do you know what the chipset is on that pine video card, the coding makes it sound like a cpu ...

Scratch that ...
ok I think your code is more likely PV-S03A-BR ... it uses the SiS 305 chipset.

Try the above and get back to us ...

We're past that already. The integrated graphics stay on - and since the PCI card is obviously getting activated as the primary display already, the BIOS has done its part.

So now you have garbled display. The prime suspicion is that the card is not seated right, or damaged in itself.

Peter M,

Thank for your answers, but I try to install the card in both slots, and moreover I change the card for a new card, the same model.

OK. Then there's the problem that some PCI VGA cards don't play nice when there's an AGP VGA present too. (The board's own integrated VGA is technically an AGP device, and doesn't disable when you add a PCI VGA.) This is an issue of the VGA BIOS on the PCI cards, hardly any cure for that.

You should now try another type of PCI VGA. Radeons usually have better results here.

I'll presume you've had a bad week peter.

[Peter M]

Why would you? I only indicated that Zapallar's system is past the stage where your advice would apply. If you take that personally, I suggest you examine what your week did to you

[Eladijaz]

It's somewhat dismissive ... a person new to the board might be put off posting in the future, that's all.

I need the drivers of a PV-S83A-BR from PINE Group, XP2800 PCI 32 MB. Can someone help me?

Thanks

Maybe try finding drivers for SiS 305 videocard chipset instead of PINE!
