Radeon 9700 and Asus A7M266D Problem

[rkoenn]

I just assembled a dual Athlon MB using the Asus A7M266D motherboard and an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro video card. The system starts the BIOS but once the two CPUs are identified, it locks up. At first I thought it was a keyboard problem but after putting in an old ATI Rage card, it booted fine. It appears that there is some type of incompatability issue and I wonder if there is any solution to it. I anyone has any similar experience or a solution, I would gladly like to hear of it. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, me too.

I have MSI K7DMaster-L, and been planning either Radeon9700 or Ti4600.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the problem apparently does not lie with the Radeon/Asus combo but looks more likely as a problem with large quantities of memory with the motherboard. When I later removed some memory the system started running nicely. As I increased memory back to 4 GB it would refuse to boot to windows. So that apparently indicates the Radeon 9700 is fine and it seems to work nicely so far.
