Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / May 2005ASUS TV-FM CARD 7135 Won't work on an AMD Sempron System
It's a brand new card on a relatively new system. When I insert it the system hangs without even beeping. I tried moving the card to a different slot on the motherboard -- same thing happens.I tried the card on another system and it works fine. Could this card be incompatible to this particular motherboard? It's a Biostar M7VIG400 KM266 SKTA from a Tagar system with an AMD Sempron 2400+ CPU and 512MB RAM Thanks for any help.. Hi, Update the mobo BIOS and chipset drivers may help.  SignaturePeter > It's a brand new card on a relatively new system. When I insert it the > system hangs without even beeping.

It's still doing the same thing. I guess I should find another card. I'm a little pissed off that a system that 5 years old has no problems, but a much newer sytem boot up nor won't even give a diagnostic beep. Oh well. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> >> Thanks for any help.. Leo, http://www.biostar.com.tw/support/bios/bios.php3?model=M7VIG%20400%20(7.x) latest BIOS Version Vig0916bs4.exe dated 2004/10/05 VIA chipset drivers: http://www.biostar.com.tw/support/driver/chipset.php3?id=Chipset%20Driver or try the older version 4.43 from viaarena.com: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2 Note: disable any antivirus softwares before flashing the BIOS and install the chipset drivers. Proper procedures to update BIOS and chipset drivers: 1. Boot into BIOS and then disable any virus protection in BIOS, if any; save and exit BIOS setup. 2. Strictly follow the mobo user manual to update the BIOS. After BIOS is successfully flashed, load the opyimized setup default. Make any configuration in BIOS to suit your requirement and then save and exit BIOS setup. 3. After windows loaded, close any application and make sure the antivirus softwares is not running at the background. Install the VIA 4in1 drivers Version 4.43 downloaded from viaarena.com. Follow the prompts and restart at the end of the installation. Pls post back to NG for the outcome SignaturePeter > I couldn't find a newer BIOS version so I tried installing a slightly older > version. It's still doing the same thing.

I've also sent email to a Biostar rep (carol@biostar.com.tw) four days ago, but I not receive a reply yet. I'm thinking of getting the ASUS tv tuner listed below instead.

BIOS PCI settings weren't changed because I didn't notice any setting that needed to be changed. I did stick a firewire card before and it was recognize by the system. But with this card nothing happens other than the fans making noise. There are no beeps, no messages on the monitor, NOTHING else! It seems like something is preventing either the motherboard or the CPU from posting. > leo, > [quoted text clipped - 75 lines] >> >> >> >> >> >> Thanks for any help.. Hi, It may be conflict with the on-board vedio chips of your mobo. You said it worked with other PC. Does the PC using on-board vedio chips or using a AGP display card? Pls post back to NG.

Hi, The card worked perfectly on a A7V400-MX motherboard with on board video. And it also was recognized on and older socket A KSEM mboard with a 900MHz CPU. However, on that system I didn't bother installing the drivers for the card. I am going try my luck with an MSI card this Saturday. I'll post here what happens. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 99 lines] >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Thanks for any help.. |
