A few weeks ago my dad called saying his computer was making wierd noises. I opened the case and found the culprit to be the fan on his GeForce256 DDR, the fan was running at intermittent speeds and was making horrible grinding noises. Since the card is over 3 years old and was very dusty I figured it made sense for it to have finally failed by now and it was time for a video card upgrade. I bought him a GeForce4 Ti 4200 w/ 128MB. I plugged the GeForce4 into the AGP slot and it started making the same noise and the fan was running at intermitent speeds. I know the card works fine because I ran it in my machine before I went over. I had the Detonator 41.09 drivers installed for the GeForce4 DDR so I just swapped the cards because the drivers would automatically install with the new card. They didn't and XP Pro installs them fine when I do it manually but when the driver install finishes the card is still labelled as a "Video Controller (VGA Complatible)". I re-installed the drivers, rebooted and still no dice.
So, I think the AGP slot is bad in the motherboard, because A) The fan seems to be getting fluctuating power and B) the OS can't identify the card correctly. The motherboard is an ASUS CUV4X.
Anyone have any recommendations?
BTW - When the system posts the video card displays correctly right when the system is booted.
TIA
