Can't get GF2 to install right on my 8RDA+??

[Wiz]

My new 8RDA+ is running 10 x 222fsb with 4-2-2-2 timings

I put my Geforce2 GTS in there and can not get it to install right. (I set it at 10 x 166 & 6-2-2-2.5 when trying to install anything)

Ive reinstalled WindowsXP a few times now, wiping all nvidia files out first then reinstalling everything.

It first tries to install with the Msft driver, but says the device can't start.
I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the card & updating the drivers. No good.
It will accept the Nvidia drivers, but still says "Device can not start". :|

Any ideas on this last sticky issue would be great, thanks!!!

running the your latest mobo drivers?

 

[Wiz]

Yes, as far as I know anyway.
I saw something on Nvidia's website saying something about people wanting to go back to the 2.03 mobo drivers for some reasons.
I'm running the 2.03 drivers.

the vga worked fine in old PC? any way to tset it? My bet would be corrupt VGA BIOS (voltage jolt, or whatever might cause it), that fails to report to driver that it worlks fine.

"any way to tset it?"

huh??

Just a FYI - I kept messing around trying to get it installed.
Even uninstalled & tried to get a TNT2 installed with no joy :|

I ended up in the end updating the bios and then trying again - stoopid GF2 installed right with no problems at all.

WTH wouldn't the video card install without a bios update on a brand new 8RDA+???
