Hi,
I am using the ASUS P5A Motherboard with the AMD-K6-2/333 MHz Processor and I have the nVidia GeForce2 MX400 64 Meg AGP TV-Out Graphics card. Now, for some reason it seems that the ASUS P5A Motherboard does not like any nVidia product because I used to have a 32 Meg nVidia card in there and it didn't work right with that either. Does anyone know why the ASUS P5A doesn't work right with any nVidia card? or how I could get it to work better? I already have the latest drivers and everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rob.
the first thing i would do is go into the bios and check all the settings
you probably had your AGP settings set wrong causing the nvidia video card to not fucntion.
also it will be great if you can give me more information regarding your computer, such as how many watt is your power supply, and how many deviecs you have in your computer..etc...

forgot to mention one more thing, it will be great if you can give me voltage readings in the bios too
+5v +3.3V +12V

Hey Ryan,
My power supply is 250W and I have my networking card, sound card, graphics card, 1 dimm of 128 meg ram, 2 dimms of 64 meg ram, 2 harddrives, and one cdrom. I will check my bios settings now for the voltage readings. what do you mean by AGP settings? thanx, i'll post the voltage settings in a minute.

ok thanks
i would suggest you get a new power supply, around 350 watt will be good.
also go into Asus web site and download the lastest bios for your motherboard and flash it.also just to make sure you have installed the lastest motherboard chipset drivers
here is the link you can go to download the bios updateshttp://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P5A
i will check your motherboard manual and give you all the configurations if needed
