P4S533 and Geforce4 TI4600

Has anyone gotten a Geforce4 TI4600 work on a P4S533. I get a black screen after the initial WinXP Pro install right after the motherboard posts. I have to remove this board and put either a Geforce3 TI500 or an ATI Radeon 8500-128 Megs ram after selecting last known good configuration.

Here are my specs:
Pentium 4-2.53 Ghz(not overclocked), Visiontek Geforce4 TI4600, Enermax 550 watt power supply, PC3200 512 Megs DDR-RAM Corsair, Soundblaster Audigy, two western digital 120 gig hard drives, Liteon 40x12x48 burner, and a Liteon 48x dvd-rom.

I have tried all different versions of the detonator drivers. I have tried all different memory settings. Would like to use 4:6 for CPU/DRAM.

 
I have a Ti4400 that I'm using with the Asus P4S533. No problems here, although I am using Win2K Pro.

I remember reading a note that the SiS AGP driver had to be installed AFTER the nVidia drivers. I know that this is strange, but you might want to remove everything and install them again in that order. BTW...I haven't had any problem updating drivers so I think that this must be done correctly only the first time.

Or maybe you simply have a bad board?
 
As I try to install the Nvidia drivers, after it is 84% complete, I get a black screen with an error blinking on the top left hand corner. My system is locked. I have to reboot the system. I do not even get a chance to install the sis agp drivers.
 
This may be a longshot but I vaguely remember reading something in the Microsoft knowledge base about driver installation failing at 84%. I think that there is a known problem, and a specific fix. I just don't remember what it is.
 
I'll search in Microsoft Knowledge base. What should I search for? There is nothing on the sis645dx chipset.
 
I have the same video card as you, and use Windows XP. When I install the drivers, at 84% it goes to a black screen, makes the beep like you installed new hardware, and then goes back to the regular screen and finishes the process. I reformat my HDD so I have noticed a few weird things with the drivers. Sometimes it goes straight through, no lag whatsoever. Others it will stop at 84% for 1 minute - 5 minutes. So let it sit for a few minutes and see what happens.
 
How long did you leave your pc alone before the black screen returned. I left it for 5 minutes. Is your system stable and functioning after it comes back from the black screen? What revision of drivers have you tried?
 
The black screen usually turns normal right away - 1 minute later. My system is stable and functioning after it comes back. And I have tried the Detonator XP 28.32.
 
I give up. I disconnected everything, but the hard drives and video card. Still no luck. I am going to get the Epox 4g4a motherboard. I do not want to go back to my AMD system. Thanks KraziKid for all your help. I will run with the Geforce 3 TI500 until my Epox 4g4a motherboards comes.
 
I don't know what it is but it seems their is a lot of trouble with the new P4's and the GeForce 4 cards, I have built a number of them and with the G3 their is no trouble but as soon as I put the G4, 4400 or 4600 it starts having trouble, I have a Asus P4S533 as a back up with a MSI 4400 and a lot of games that give it a blue screen will run fine on the AMD systems, Seems to be the same with any of the P4's
 
I have the p4s533 and a GeForce2 Ti4400. The 4600 is very similar. I had a problem with installing the WHQL drivers so i ended up installing the non-WHQL drivers which worked fine. I do remember seeing somebody else with the same problem and they ended up instaling the non-WHQL drivers. Currently there are new drivers available from Nvidia which are WHQL and supposedly will cure the issues that you are having.
