Radeon 9600 Pro PROBLEM!!!
I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and a Radeon 8500 LE.

Currently using the 8500 LE because for some weird reason my computer wont post with the 9600 pro.

Problem explained: My computer boots fine with the 8500 LE. When I swap cards, the computer wont post. The Radeon 9600 Pro fan spins, but the monitor never comes on. Gives a post code of 26, meaning overclock error. I don't overclock, so I reset the CMOS anyway. Still didn't work. Also, my BIOS is flashed to the latest.

In the specs of the 8RDA+ I see that the 8RDA+ is rated for 8x. But it doesnt support 0.8v! It says 1.5v only in bold words. From reading around, AGP 4x is 1.5v. I can disable 8x support in the BIOS and boot with the 9600 pro but it still wont work. The voltages in the BIOS go no lower than 1.5v, and only go a bit higher.

My question: HOW THE HELL CAN I GET THE RADEON 9600 PRO TO WORK?

Computer Specs: 8RDA+ Motherboard, 512MB Twinmos pc3200, AMD XP2100+, 420w Thermaltake PSU.

No, I mean, what does removing catalyst drivers have to do with the non-POSTing of the 9600?

I thought catalyst drivers optimize the card for windows.

Have you tried the 9600 in a different computer?

R9600 has no problem working in AGP-8x-less mainboards, as long as they support 4x. Done that. I too recommend you try to find out elsewhere whether your card is working at all.

I am also having this problem. Same video card (Radeon 9600 Pro), same mobo (8RDA+).

When it wouldn't POST, I immediately RMA'd it. Got another one. Also wouldn't post. Kinda got me wondering. Tried it in another system (8KHA+ mobo). It worked.

Logically, something is amiss with the 8RDA+. Most recent BIOS, reset to defaults. Still won't POST.

I talked to spencers, he apparently RMA'd his and is awaiting another, though I think he may experience the same.

I've emailed Epox, and I tried to email ATI but couldn't find a way to do it.

Anybody else have any info?
