I am owning a hp 512n and I have tried installing rage xl as a second video card and I am getting a code 10. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with updated software from the manufacurers website, and I am still having the same problem. I am using windows xp on this computer
Paul, code 10 means a lack of resources. a bios update might help but note that there are two types of 512n - one based on the greenland and the other the trigem lomita... The bios update is only for the greenland.
Do you know that this Rage XL is good... after all it is a very old card.
This computer has the trigem. One other tidbit of information that I am getting is when I riught click on the adaptor and I go down to properties
it will say general>details>driver>details tabs. I click on the second details tab and I get the message "unable to get cds card number".
OK having read around, you might want to try resetting cmos to defaults or use the jumper on the main board and then try again.
If i understand you correctly you are trying to install a second video card? What exactly is the card thats installed or onboard already?
Is the rage a PCI or AGP?
It is the Intel 82810 E graphics controller, this card is built into the motherboard
The rage is a pci. And the onboard card is and the onboard card is 82810e
Have you tried disabling the onboard for the moment?
While it is possible to make 2 video cards work together.
It is not the easiest thing.
And to mix intel and ati is also going to make it that much more difficult
I have disabled the onboard, and it made no difference.
You never indicated WHAT site you got them from; is this it?
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/legacy-xp.html
edit: and follow the yellow brick road:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...rule=5695#N751
I got the driver s from the link above.
Then the likliehood is the Rage card is bad. Since you disabled the onboard, you'll have to reset CMOS to get it recognized again I believe.
edit: have you tried another PCI slot? Sometimes the IRQ assignments change shares if you do.
I have tried another pci slot but I amy try one more time
Okay now I have finally made some progress. I moved it up to the topmost pci slot and now I am finally making some progress. I am getting a code 12, lack of resources, How can I determine specifically what is interfering?
In my experience, slot 1 shares with the onboard video or agp socket...
You want to use slot 2 or 5 (and, for the moment, pull the other pci cards you have.)
Now I have new information about my card. I tried disabling plug and play in the bios and that did not do anything. I also move d the card down to the second pci slot. No luck. I'v done a complete system restore using the hp disk, and now windows automatically detected it as a 3d rage pro agp 2x. I originally believed it was rage xl because of the installation disk that came with it. I am still getting a code 12. I also tried downloadin gthe most current
software for the ati site and installing it, and I am getting the blue screen of death when I try to install it.
Have you used the troubleshooter to work out where the conflict is?Quote:
Code 12
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)
Recommended resolution
Two devices have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a universal serial bus (USB) controller is not an interrupt from the BIOS because of a corrupted Multiprocessor System (MPS) table).
You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and disable the conflicting device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
Can you post the full details of these blue screens?
Is there anyway I can use pc doctor program that came with my hp to trace this problem?
The easiest way to check the card is to put it in another PC and see if you get the same result. If you do, it's faulty.
I do not have a second computer I can try the card on,but when I try to install the driver an event log is generated. The message that I get is"The bugcheck was : 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0x804d90aa. 0xf46acba8, 0x0000000). A dump was saved in c\\WINDOWS\Mini052908-01.dmp. I cannot view the event log with any programs that I have.
this is the MS article about that fault. Given what you have told us, it would imply that the video card has bad memory on the card.
What are the exact details written on the blue screen?
The bluescreen comes and goes to quick to be able to see anything.
Turn off automatic restart then!
Right click my computer, select properties, click on advanced tab and then the startup and recovery options button at the bottom. In the lower 1/3 of options, uncheck "automatically restart". Apply and OK and the next time it will not restart and you can read the blue screen at your leisure.
