Help w/ FX5900U Engineering Sample in Intel Mobo's

[shady123]

So I recieved this card, and the first thing I did was I took out my old R97Pro and I put in this huge card, into my LAN system. My Lan system runs an Intel d875pbz motherboard w/ intel 3.2 p4ee, 420w Antec, audigy 2 zs platinum, and I put it in, stuck the power connector on, and it won't display video once it powers up. The fan is running on the card itself, and the whole system seems to be running but no video output.

Here's what the card looks like (review on it)

So then I put it in a old system of mine, w/ abit motherboard, 1.5ghz p4, 350w antec, and it ran perfect, no issues at all. I was stumped.

I then put it in a friend's MSI Athlon XP 1500+ w/ 300w PS, and it seem to run ok, a few artifacts I assume because of the power supply not having enough voltage.

So I figure that it's just my pbz system that won't take it. I bring it home and try it on my home system which is a 3.2c P4 w/ intel d865PERL motherboard, 400w ps, it has no other devices except for a small gig nic, and I got the same thing. Starts up but with no video at all.

I have never been so stumped in my life, both Intel Motherboards do not display video with this card, but an abit and a MSI does it fine. My only hunch is that, because of the bios actually on the nvidia card itself, intel motherboards somehow lock the video card bios from running before it's bios?

Little help from the hardware experts plz

Do you have Hyper Threading ENABLED on the INTEL motherboard?

Had a CHAINTECH FX5900U ES with INTEL PERL with same problem.

Disabled HT and it booted fine.
