PC hardware: Trying to install old PCI card on new system with HD2400Pro
Do you now have 2 graphics cards in your system?
by phoenixrage - 8/3/08 6:40 PM In reply to: I was guessing that was an issue. by gentharIf you do have 2 graphics cards now i think it wont work because you have to have a crossfire-compatible motherboard and i dont think and old radeon 7000 has that.
i might be wrong but im pretty sure that 2 graphics cards cant go crossfire like that especially with one soo old
Crossfire is farthest from my mind.

not sure what to do next

The I2C error is something of a big clue.

I focused on that since it's something I've dealt with before. It's a simple matter to get the latest Intel motherboard chipset drivers but some don't get the connection from that to the error.
If we could get that installed then it's crossed off the list and we look deeper at card to driver support issues like you are doing.
the source of the i2c error is from ati2mtag

that's an issue with the ati drivers, not necessarily the motherboard drivers. the 8.x catalyst drivers do not support the radeon 7000 so that error from when he was trying to apply those drivers to that card.
And to talk to the I2C bus I find

The motherboard drivers tell the drivers how to do that. It's a small step along the way.
The motherboard and the system is now recognising the R7000
by genthar - 8/4/08 10:10 AM In reply to: the source of the i2c error is from ati2mtag by ramarc(with an unsigned driver 6.14.10.6517) and it's even configurable in Catalylst Control.
The I2C error is still appearing in even viewer but is not halting or restarting the system which makes me think it was the other error that was doing that. I do have 2 instance of a new error related to ati2mtag:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ati2mtag
Event Category: CPLIB
Event ID: 52249
Date: 04/08/2008
Time: 17:30:02
User: N/A
Computer: KERBEROS
Description:
CPLIB :: Initialization - Failed to load the library

but this is causing no issue with the operations of the system.
btw, you're not trying to configure the 3rd display
by ramarc - 8/4/08 7:41 AM In reply to: not sure what to do next by ramarcin safe mode are you? if so, try it in regular mode.
No. Even the 2nd display didn't work in safe mode
by genthar - 8/4/08 10:20 AM In reply to: btw, you're not trying to configure the 3rd display by ramarcI just had the one. The ATi driver gets swiched off anyway once in safe mode and you're left with basic functionality.
I did try this.
by genthar - 8/4/08 10:13 AM In reply to: not sure what to do next by ramarcIt altered nothing apart from showing the post and BIOS screens in the third monitor but once it booted into windows the primary display adapter (the HD2400) took over. The properties of the "VGA Compatible" remained unchanged.
This is worth reading.

I'd like to see that Intel driver installed then you may have to repeat the above chore of driver (hell) testing.
Thanks for all the help.
by genthar - 8/4/08 3:36 PM In reply to: Trying to install old PCI card on new system with HD2400Pro by gentharMany thanks to you Bob and those who helped a distraught Irishman with his problem.
I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead with 2 working graphics cards and let those non-intrusive event errors alone.
Many thanks again.
