TD uses an AGP GeForce3 Ti500 in his.

I even ran the Voodoo5 5500 with the Powerleap for a while with no problems,,,,and it had 2 fans on it

Ahh..dang guys don't tell me all of you are running AGP's.....
Crap. OK, let me give y'all a little more detail on my set-up and what I did, maybe there is somethig I forgot to mention earlier.

My system originally came with a 8meg AGP video card (worked fine, slow of course).

About 9 months ago I replaced it with an Xtasy 64meg PCI video card. It worked fine at the time (of course I always thought it should have run faster than it did). and after learning the differences of the AGP and PCI buses I understood why it seemed slower than I thought it should (fighting for time on the PCI bus with the sound, modem(PCI internal), etc.)

When I installed the PCI 64meg video card....

I plugged the PCI vid card in, installed the driver, powered down, moved monitor cable over from orginal AGP card to PCI card, rebooted, and everything worked fine.

For a long time I left the 8meg AGP card in the AGP slot, I just had the video cable plugged into the PCI vid card.

64meg AGP vid card upgrade--------

With the PCI vid card still plugged in, I loaded the AGP card drivers, powered down, pulled the PCI card out, put in the AGP card, powered back up, and el crasho.

I will state that the 64meg AGP not only installed drivers for the card but also new GART drivers (which I inferred from the installation, had to do with the AGP drivers in or around the 440 chipset on the Mobo ??)

In much of my testing I did try to put the original 8meg AGP card back in, but it locked up on boot-up. It looked like it was trying to autoload it's own nVanta drivers during boot-up (DOS not windows) but it froze up. I assumed because of the new GART drivers. I contemplated trying the re-flash the GART drivers back to original state, but I wasn't even sure where to get them (if I even could).

Everything else I've told you guys (the PSU testing, changing the Hardware Accell...etc, etc.).

If anyone can glean anything I did wrong, please let me know.


Thanks,
Dave

Pulled out the quick start guide that came with the Powerleap...and there it was...under troubleshooting tips....number 6..."users with the Intel 440BX Chipset should NOT use AGP video acceleration, only PCI" (no explanation).


I have a Powerleap PL-iP3/T 1.4GHz running in my Napoli-2 board, only I have a Radeon 7000 AGP with full hardware acceleration. I didn't recall any limitation about the 440BX so I dug up my quick install notes (I'm surprised I have them) and my Troubleshooting #6 reads as such:

"Intel 440LX chipset mainboards (such as the Intel AL440LX) running 3D games, please use only PCI-Bus 3D VGA cards (such as the ATI Radeon PCI), NOT AGP-Bus. Other FSB-100/133 MHz mainboards can use both AGP and PCI Bus 3D-VGA cards. Also, on 440LX MBs (FSB-66MHz), Windows 2000 and XP are not supported beyond the 533MHz Celeron-PPGA CPU."

So, I don't think that there's any fatal about the 440BX, AGP and the Powerleap. You might want to try setting the voltage a little higher on the Powerleap. See here under Windows freezes under intense CPU use:

I'm late into reading this thread and I don't know if you've considered just doing a clean load of the OS and seeing if that helps.

Cast in the name of God, Ye not guilty.
Thanks for clearing that up ranger... I was wondering if when he said it said problems with 440BX that it really said 440LX as I remember hearing about the problems with 440LX and AGP and any CPU supporting SSE while running under windows 2k/xp before.

Thanks for the clarification ranger. Guess I read thru the quick quide a little to quickly. Alright you guys have given me renewed hope! I'm fixing to shut this little piggy down, rip out this PCI card, and slap the AGP card back in here. Hopefully this time I'll be able to get her to work! Will check back a little later.

Thanks,
Dave
