perhaps its a sign to ask u to give me the 7950GT

ok lets try this.... so the problem is on ur winxp right?
1.logon ur winxp...
2.unintall everysingle graphic driver... onboard and nvidia... try to use "detonator RIP" or wateva s/w tat can clean up the left over files/registry of graphic driver(www.guru3d.com)
3.plug off ur graphic card from mobo + install back on (optional)
4.reset CMOS(mobo jumper) ...... go in BIOS set onboard graphic off & main graphic to AGP or PCIE acording wat u using...
4.logon to winxp
5.download and install driver 162.18 from www.nvidia.com.. (make sure it is windows XP driver... ***NOT Windows Vista***)
6.restart ur com and logon into winxp

thats all i can think off for now... try to make sure u dont login winvista along ur process....
not really sure the details wat u are facing since im not there to see it..... hehe if stil persist..... give me the card... joking!

@seaotter, what did u mean by free? Did u get it back from rma?

lol.
no sign.

actually i'm using Vista all the way.

its just when you reboot after windows update, it will go back to the onboard.

and the onboard bios dont really have a spesific command that says " DISABLE ON BOARD VIDEO".

waiting for intel to follow up with this.

Added on August 16, 2007, 3:42 amhmmmm i wonder izzit the CMOS battery worn out... maybe it keep reset everytime coz out of battery... how long u've been using the battery without changing?......
if very long time like 4-5years then i think can change already.. less than RM10 only...

anyway try to double check 1st if u wanna save money..... try to adjust other simple option in bios and set VGA to AGP together... hmmm maybe like off onboard audio, set the time and date..... then everytime u restart ur com.... MAKE sure u enter bios 1st.. and look whether the changes is reverted to default anot.. if yes then sumthg wrong with bios(means maybe no batt) or worst... u know wat....

u can stil try follow all the steps i've stated b4 with latest winvista driver 162.22 from nvidia...

LOL..AFAIK, he got it free when his friend gave the 7950GT to him after getting himself a higher end 8800.LOL..

what mobo are u using? there's always an option to disable onboard graphics.

The manual is exactly the one you can download from [/here
Sent them the inquiry.

As requested. I managed to find the similar picture of that cable from the internet.



It is exactly the same as the most bottom cable with 2 molex. My card comes only with that cable and VGA-DVI converter. Just that. And the manual? only show you how to install the graphic driver..

well, that's 6-pin PCI-e connector converter

urm.. so it supposed to be works with PCIe cards only right? If that is the case, why does it came with my AGP card then?

could you show us your VGA card? either the seller accidentally put the 6-pin PCI-e connector or it is indeed your card is PCI-e, but then... you said it's AGP... then... i think, most probably, accidentally put...

Yea, i guess it is supposed to be in PCIE only as the power connectors on AGP cards i saw are mostly on Molex connectors.

hahahaha.. nah, Im very 100% confident that its an AGP card But, somehow, the card has that 6pin connector!

Well, Im guessing that maybe its Palit manufacturing fault. The board should be fitted for PCIe's but mistakenly fitted for AGP slot..

Opss..Sorry.Double Posted.

someone is double posting..

I guess my card is one of a kind 7300GT..

it could be Palit's special feature on AGP? , well, just plug all those two molex connectors la

damn..very kind of palit to pack such a bundle mine only come with molex connector..even no d-sub to dvi converter

could not be an unintended mistake. for the 7series card to work on AGP, a bridge/converter fo PCIE to AGP signal must be onboard. I am guessing its a new cost efficient design for palit since no need to change so much layout for AGP cards?

Here is the bigger size of the card. Not my card though, but its 100% the same AGP card. You guys can see there is the 6pin connector on top left of the card. Maybe this card is a Sonic card, that's why they added this extra power connector.

The problem now is, not enough female molex connector.. I scared the card cant survive longer if there is short of power..

fuyoo...truly agp card with pci-e power connector..why dun u cabut other things that use ur molex connector 1st..how many molex does ur psu hav

urm.. lets count

1 for HDD
1 for CDRW
1 for DVDRW
1 for the graphic card itself.

so, max molex connector given is only 4. and Im lacking 1 more.. hahaha.. maybe time to change to a new PSU?
Since this PSU Ive been using it for more 2 years already. Guess what, its a Cap Ayam brand for P4 processors.. muahahaha!
