  • Bugger it's rev 1.0 9700 pro and that means

    It won't work on my new Epox motherboard 4sda5 +. Spent a couple hours transferring things across and surprise surprise it wouldn't boot with it in. Tried upping the AGP voltage but still no go. Look into the bios to see if I could set the card at AGP x4 and theres no setting for it.
    So I swapped the new processor across to the old board and transferred everything back again. Still wouldn't boot with this board it's tight fit. So after bending the graphics card bracket a bit this forced the card down and I booted into Linux.
    I'd got the cables mixed up however the linux is supposed to be bollocked and unbootable thats the message I get when I add it to the winxp bootmenu.
    Swapped them back and dislodged the card again.
    Reseated card and bingo.
    So put the board into my other computer with the G550 and that works but one cooling fan breaks down and removeable drive bay I have to move and this means the top fan has to move which i use to replace the other fan.
    All in all it's taken me seven hours including back up time to upgrade two pc's.
    Chief Lemon Buyer no more Linux sucks but not as much
    Weather nut and sad git.
