hd4890 changing speed randomly

[waynee]

hello my hd4890 in my GA-MA78LMT-S2 (rev. 1.3) is acting wierd. i open up gpuz and the fan speed is locke at 49% but the rpm of the fan is going from 750 to 2500 rapidly you can hear it aswell keep changing  but the percentage is stuck on 49%, anyone know whats causing it?

also another problem i have is whenever i boot the computer up and i click internet explorer there is a massive pause for about 2mins and then it will load all of the ie's i have clicked.

Hi there,

What OS are you using?
What version of the ATI Drivers do you have?
Are you overclocking your system at all?

[waynee]

im using xp pro and ive done no overclock, the system is fine before i put the card in. i installed everything without without the card in and the system runs perfect. the drivers i installed are the 10.10 but i installed it last time with 10.9 and still same. oh and that pause when i boot it up only happened when i put the card in before the card was in there was no pause.

There have been a lot of problems with 10.9 and some are difficult to clear even after removing the driver.
How long has the card been installed?
What card were you using before?

[waynee]

that jsut with this motherboard then? because in the old one the card is in you dont get that problem

[waynee]

the card is a hd4890 and ive had it 2years, i brought brand new GA-MA78LMT-S2 (rev. 1.3), athlon 2 440, 2g ram and put my hd4890 in it

When you installed the 4890 did you remember to disable the on-board graphics chip in BIOS and set your INIT Display to PEG?

[waynee]

yeah i did that. well i disable onboard then afterwards i set it to peg but there was no change

[Dark Mantis]

Have you set the BIOS to use the card as the primary VGA card?
What slot do you have it in?


So you are still awake absic..

[waynee]

its in the pci express slot, how do you change it to use vga?

[waynee]

i also had this problem with an unknon device showing up, think it was audio driver of 4890 messing with onobard audio but i managed to get rid of that with uninstalling audio divers then installing then agin, i thought that was causing the pause but after it as sorted it still pauses

[Dark Mantis]

No I have just looked at the board and see you only have the one slot so theres no option.
The unknown device was probably the HDMI ATI hi def audio device device part of the card.

[waynee]

the memory is set to unganged mode taht wouldnt have anything to do with it would it?

[Dark Mantis]

No that's correct.
I would advise you to try removing the drivers totally and then reinstall

Hi Waynee,

Is this the same problem that you posted about before? http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,3190.msg22838.html#msg22838
Did you upgrade your PSU or are you still using the same one?
