Nvidia TNT2 M64 will not display when booted!!

[Robo]

I just bought this silly card and when i boot it my screen flickers all over the place and switches off!!
I then switch the plugs back to my old card and its fine.
Maybe my motherboard isnt compatible, im running a 200MMX with a VX PRO motherboard.

Any advise please!!!!

I hate to tell you this, but I think your motherboard wouldnt let you run that m64 without problems.. The TNT2 cards have been reported having conflicts etc with many motherboards, and I think thats your case too.
And maybe but maybe your cpu is too slow.
But thats just my opinion on the situation.

I'm sick of people slagging TNT2 (&M64) off

Update your BIOS, AGP (if any) Bus Mastering and use manufacture drivers only (reference drivers aren't helpful)

I got my M64 to go fine on an ALi Aladdin V chipset which was deemed "imcompatible"
But I do respect that you mentioned its your opinion (VanDamage).. so thats kewl

Agreed that a faster CPU will make that card seem a whole bunch faster

What do you mean by "I then switch the plugs back to my old card and its fine"? You have both the cards in there at the same time? Or is the other one built in to the MB? Well, for either case. Only one card must be present, and if you can't take out the built-in one, you will have to disable it through BIOS or a MB jumper.

Actually i did take the old one out and plugged the TNT2 in. But i think i have found the problem, i went to a shop and they plugged my machine in there monitor and it booted up. But i bought it home and my monitor eventually turns off. I have a KTX 17', does this mean its uncompatable????
I hope not its 3 years old!!

I also have a KTX 17" OSD...

I've found on other machines with my monitor that you need to do a hardware reset to allow the monitor to 'kick in'

Also hunt down the KTX monitor INF file for Windows...

SexyMF,

Can you explain to me of how you do this as i dont want to get a new monitor just to play the latest games.

Thanks!!

Hey robo.. i had that exact some problem.. couldnt get it to work.. i just had to buy a new card =(

[Robo]

Trunks,

Looks like ill buy a Voodoo 3 as my old Voodoo 2 worked.
It appears that my monitor doesnt like the card.

Cheers
