    Unhappy No video when audigy is installed

    So a friend of mine is trying to install an Audigy soundcard in his pc, but everytime he installs it the display won't come up. It won't even post. Now I'm working on it, having the same problem, and am at a loss for what to do next. I don't know a lot about the pc, I think it's got a an Asus mobo, probably about 2 years old, a duron 800, and he's got a pci ati 128 video card (which i think is part of the problem). But the board has an older agp slot so none of my spare cards will fit. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried the s/c & or video (since its pci) in different pci slots ? ... sounds like some resource conflict to me ...

    When you say 'installs' do you mean 'fit' or after any driver install ?

    Have you tried the card in another PC to be sure it works properly? Also, try another PSU.

    ...so good he said it twice !...

    I take it that it'll post without the Audigy ? Will the bios let you reserve resources 'per slot'(some do some don't) ... acpi on or off in bios ? Whichever it is try the other ... (& do a cmos reset first)

    Remove the card, reset the CMOS. Then enter the BIOS setup, under "PnP OS installed" choose NO, this will force the mobo to try to allocate resources by it's own. Disable all peripherals that are not needed at this point (COM & LPT, USB). Re-install card and tell us what happenes.
    Audigy needs 2 interrupts (one for sound and one for the 1394 controller)
