PCI standard bus conflicting with ATI x1650 pro

I just upgraded my system with this motherboard

ECS KA3 MVP (V1.0A) AM2 AMD 580X CrossFire ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD X2 6000+ w 4 gig of memory.

I've flashed it with the latest bios and have tried everything I could think of to
resolve the issue even using the other pice slot with no success. Is this a bad motherboard or is there something I'm not doing right. The video card works fine in my old Arock board.

Everything else seems fine with it though. The problem is once I installed windows XP and do the first reboot it won't boot into windows and keeps looping the reboot. I can't even get back into XP in safe mode either. I've tried windows 2000 and getting the same problem except 2000 still lets me boot in.

I checked the driver info and it seems that both the video card and the PCI standard bus drivers are trying to share the same ports and memory addresses.

Any help would be grateful. I contacted ECS a little bit earlier but I'm not holding my breath and also did the newegg rma process just in case.
 
Hmmm, it's doing the same thing on my old rig. Going to try the agp card on the old system again. Don't remember but I'm pretty sure I just upgraded to the pcie without reinstalling windows.

Can't seem to get out of that VGAsave mode or change the port and resource sharing.
 
Oh boy triple post. Been working on my old rig with the 9600 agp. I installed the latest drivers. A brainstorm hit me, I powered down. Drained the power once again and swapped cards putting in the x1650. Was still getting the conflict. I stopped the VGAsave service and went into device manager and clicked on the VGA compatible one and selected update driver and then chose "I will select what to install". Lo and behold the 1650 option was there. Selected it and wallah! It installed. Then I selected the second one which is secondary and used the same procedure. This time a 1650 secondary was in the driver list. Got the x1650 running fine it seems. Now how to go about getting the installed drivers on my new rig and windows install. This is going to be fun.

Still don't understand why this 1650 is doing this all of sudden. One of the problems also is that the ATI insist you use the standard VGA installed first before it will do a dang thing. Anyway, I'll keep you guys up to date on further developments.
 
I won't hide it but I'm an idiot. Well the problem was I never did backup the new ATI drivers and was trying to do the driver install from the CD that came with the x1650pro. It was as simple as all that using the new drivers for the install. The new ones don't seem to care if the card is in Standard VGA or not. Everything is fine.

I still had to put the old motherboard and cpu back up and running. My current Power supply just doesn't have the juice for the full load of windows. It's only 450watts and I think if I remember only 16a on the 12v lines. The new one should be here tuesday http://www.ocztechnology.com/p...pply-nvidia_sli_ready_

450W? Your system might use 200W of that, 225W tops. What caused you to think it couldn't power a single 1650?

The age of the power supply for one, The four sticks of memory, the 125w 6000+ cpu all the usb ports and stuff on this new motherboard. I was just thinking the old ah heck couldn't handle it. 🙂
