PLEASE HELP NOW!!! NEW PROBLEMS

[brunell8]

Just upgraded my vid card to an AIW 7500, and everything went haywire. While installing drivers on initial boot - BSOD. Restarted, got the drivers loaded, started loading the software (tv tuner, etc.) - BSOD. Restarted, finished loading the software, restarted, now I get errors saying the registry is not present. Try to boot from floppy - doesn't help. Try to boot in safe mode, and it just hangs at the wallpaper and I get nothing. The way my system is setup, I also cannot get to the BIOS or CMOS and restarting my system takes approximately 5 minutes! Any and all help on both of these problems is appreciated. PLEASE HELP, ANANDTECHERS! I know someone knows the answer to this and I will be forever grateful.

Please see my system rig for system specs.

EDITGot tired of this crap, so I decided to reformat. Ran fdisk, rebooted, formatted, put in the Win ME cd and I get this error -

SUWIN
An error has occurred in your application. If you choose IGNORE, you should save your work in a new file. If you choose close, your application will terminate. I chose IGNORE, and got this error -

SUWIN caused a General Protection Fault in module 9XMIG.DLL at 0001:0014.

Now what do I do? I tried using my restore cd that came with the system and that doesn't work either (various other error messages when going that route).

Did you remove all software and drivers of your old video card before you installed the new card? Have you tried resetting the CMOS? It is usually a jumper on your mobo.

 

[brunell8]

Yes, I removed the old drivers before I started. Haven't looked for a jumper for my CMOS but I will give that a shot.

try removing all your pci cards and see if you are able to boot, something may be conflicting... if you are able to boot then, put them in one at a time until the problem is back

 

[brunell8]

I don't understand where you're going with this. It's an AGP card, and all I did was take my nVidia card out and put the ATI card in. I've changed many video cards before and never came across anything like this before.

 

[Bug]

I thinkwhat Mee987 is trying to say is that it's possible that one of your Pci cards may have a software conflict with your Ati card. If there is a pci card at fault, removing it and booting without it will hopefully cause the buggy card's software not to fully load -> no more crashes. At the very least, it rarely hurts to try this step.

Btw, are you using the drivers that came with the card or more recent drivers you pulled off the web? If you can, back up all your data first before doing anything else. Then, if you are using the most recent official drivers, give the beta drivers (if any) a shot.
If you're using the cd drivers, try more recent ones.
Ouch, you're using ME. Have you tried putting your old vid card and seeing if that works? If so, get your data off now (yes I'm paranoid about data integrity). Pop the ati in and once it finishes booting, you could try a system restore. This should force the os to detect the new card and use its own drivers until you update them. If the computer works with the os drivers, I'd look at the ati drivers as the culprit.

does this remind anyone else of ati's rage 128 drivers and kt133 chipsets?

what motherboard do you have?

 

[brunell8]

Mobo is an MSI 6191.

You know, I had sharing problems myself when it came to some MSI mobos. The MSI 6340 (integrated sound/AMR) just would not this one 3com nic I put in. And this was in all the 6340s I tried. This only was a problem in Win98se. As soon as I put on XP it was fine. My point is to check MSIs knowledge base for any incompatibilities with that particular board. If so, and there exists an update, get those newer mobo drivers/bios updates. Also, which OS you runnin?

***NOTE: If this mobo is VIA based, you must reinstall your 4-in-1 drivers before or after (or both) the new AGP installation. That seems to be a solution for some people.***

First, try removing all the pci and isa cards. Yes, they can cause a problem. Usually, it's a driver or IRQ problem. If it goes fine, then add them in one by one until you find the culprit. Move that card into different slots if possible or do a little bit of card shuffling.

If that doesn't work, try changing your IDE cable. Also, try clearing your bios. Sometimes a retarded bios setting can do that.

not sure if this gonna help or not, but i did a search on microsoft technet and deja.com for 9XMIG.DLL and found out this is a file necessary for Internet Explorer 5.0+ and Outlook Express. Not sure why this would show up after installing a new video card though....

I've had the exact error message before. Not sure what causes it. I suspect an mbr problem. A zero fill on the harddrive solved the problem.
