Again: No POST!

- Taking a second power supply and feeding the Aopen card seperately from
that
second PSU: no post. (nice, a PC with 2X450W )


Are you sure the card is getting power with the second supply? Do you realize
the PS will not turn on unless told to by the motherboard?

Hi,

I posted already about this problem, now I have some more information:

It seems to me that the combination of the following components does not
work:

Motherboard ASUS A8V (AMD64, 3500+, FW 1009.002b)
Videocard Aopen Aeolus 6800 GT

When powering on there is no POST, nothing.
A Taiwanees women sais something like "SYSTEM FAILED VGAFAIL"

What I tried:
- Putting in a cheap VGA card instead: works!
- Trying a second Aopen Aelous 6800 GT card: no post
- Taking a second power supply and feeding the Aopen card seperately from
that
second PSU: no post. (nice, a PC with 2X450W )


Any ideas?

What is your AGP speed set at ( 8x I assume? ), and have you tried lowering
it? ( to 4x? ) I am not sure, but I think that bios 1009.002b ( which I
have ) may be overvolting/undervolting? the AGP slot at 8x - as my card
locks up the computer unless it is set to 4x. Of course it could be
something totally different, but I could boot but not run any high speed 3d
applications.
