I am unable to install my Pine Excalibur GeForce 3 Ti 200 VGA Card (AGP) in my system. My mobo is a Tyan S1854 Trinity 400 with a P3 CPU and a 250v power supply. The screen is blank and the monitor doesn't turn on. My Bios is set up correctly: Agp aperture size-64M, agp driving control-maunal (cc or ec) {auto doesn't work either}, Agp 4x mode-enabled, Init display first-AGP. I have upgraded my bios to the latest version 1.07, and dowloaded all of the latest drivers for the card. in my device manager i get a code 10 (This device cannot start. (Code 10)). Is it possible that the bios does not support the card? The card gets power because the fan turns, but the bios doesn't seem to recognize the card! Any help you can give me would be much appreciated :).
Thanks, Brendan

No, I get only a beep code error (1 long, 3 short beeps) than nothing. In what's probably a related problem: If I plug my HDD light in the same problem occurs, even w/ my PCI video card! It would make sense that I need a larger power supply. Thanks, I'll give it a try and let you know!

Did you find a solution to this as have have the same problem on an IWill XP333-R board.

I have tried removing ALL other cards from the motherboard and all other leads and disconnected everything except the speaker, the power switch, the atx power connector and the graphics card.

The odd thing is that if you leave the computer overnight it works when you first turn it on.

but if you then reboot or turn off and back on again it just gets the long + 3 short beeps.

the computer boots up ok with the card installed, but there's just nothing on the display.

The system runs fine with a GF2 MX and a KyroII.

Same kind of problems here. I have Geforce 3, P3-1000 MHz. It used to work just fine when I had Win ME.

Today I installed Win XP and everything seemed fine until I looked at Device Manager and saw that Gef3 was not installed properly, "Device Cannot Start, Code 10."

Drivers I tried, 29.42 and 23.11 did install okay but the same trouble still. Windows seems to work fine but any games requiring OpenGL do not. Any solutions?

Also, what makes this so strange is that a friend has the same motherboard and graphic card, bought at same time, only he had 800MHz and my processors 1GHz and no trouble there.

Also, installed back to Win ME and no trouble at all with Geforce3. Very odd...
