I just got a 9700pro a few day's ago. But i get a Corrupted display when system is started.
I am able to boot thro Dos 98 floppy disk and I have event partitioned/formatted the hdd, but when i transfer the system to the hdd and boot thro hdd i get a corrupted the display. As a result i have not be able to load an OS.

A breif system description is as follows
P4 2.4b ghz ,850emv2 intel mboard,512 mb pc800 ram,80 gb hdd, cd rom etc.

I have tested the card on older systems and it works fine. But not on this new one.
Can anyone help me out

Maybe the AGP voltage is crap. Boot into the BIOS and check the voltage. Doesn't that card have an extra power connector? Is that secure? Do you have a meter to check the voltage on that extra plug? I have no experience with that card so I'm just guessing here. Take the card from the other system and try it on this pc.
 
I had the same thing happen with the first ATi retail Radeon 9700 that I ordered shortly after they came out. I tried it in 3 different systems, and had to replace it. I figured it was a bad memory chip. If I remember correctly, there were a couple of other posts with the same issue.

EDIT: I just noticed that you had it working in other systems..... Are you running the latest mobo BIOS? The AGP port may be bad, or you may want to swap the PSU with another from one of the systems it works on and see if it makes a difference.
 
can't help with the video issue but since it appears that you'll be using win98 with that p4 then you should read this.
you can get the updated NDIS.vxd from here.
 
I have updated the bios, and even tried a gf2 card the agp slot seems to be working.
I am trying the following options
1. Use a 400w power supply
2. Try using agp 2x setting instead on 4x
3. Checking the voltage

Anyways thanks a lot for your help guys
I shall keep u posted
