video card KILLER

[redls1]

This is my second agp viddeo card I have killed in 2 different boards. I am trying to run my celeron 566 at 850. The first card was a cheap basic 8 meg agp 6326 sis chipset. The second one is a dianond stealth II g460. I had a cooling fan on the g460 but all of a sudden wouldnt boot. The agp slot still works I think. Ill ahve to buy another card. Using my old pci right now. Could I be killing the slot or am I just killing the cards. This board is a new gigabyte ga-6vxe7 while the other was an msi 6182. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Anybody? Dont want to kill another card. Please help.

You might want to check to make sure that you have the AGP running at 2/3 the FSB instead of one. Don't know much about your motherboard. Good Luck.

Or maybe you could try just not overclocking at all, lol.

i) will the board boot with the cpu at default speed?
ii) did you reseat the card a few times?
iii) make sure the AGP ratio is set to 2/3 (as stated above)

You might want to clear the CMOS and try again. I don't think a high AGP clock would physically damage a part over a short period of time.

Or, you could try not overclocking

Could try not overclocking but that wouldnt be any fun. Have my pci video card in and it runs great. Guess Ill keep it this way. Thanks for helping a newbie out!!!
