Hi,
I recently bought a new gfx card for better decoding of h.264 (XFX ATI 5450).
But when I install the card the MB will not POST. Long beeps, sounding as a floppydrive searching for a floppy.
In bios I have the options: "Enabled onboard gpu if no External gpu present" and Init display : PCIE.
If I hold the DELETE button during post a LOOONG time or spam the DELETE button for a LOOONG time it will boot the ATI card. But this is nothing I can do EVERY startup, especially not on a HTPC. (which my wife should also be able to start).
I've tried the card in my stationary rig, and it boots without any problems, which runs on a P35-DS3.
I've flashed the F09 bios ot the GA-73PVM-S2H, which didn't help at all. I got a 400W NorthQ and for this small setup it shouldn't be any problems, and since I get it to boot if I hammer the Delete button.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get the card running?!
Thanks..
