ASROCK k7s8x and ATI Radeon 9250 GE/TD conflicts??

Post by Num3 »

I have an ASROCK K7S8X (SiS chips) with a XP2000+ with 512Mb, a 9250 GE/TD with 256mb, 2 HD, a DVD-Rom Writter and a new 450Watt PSU.

The problem is the computer doesn't boot the 1st time i press the power button. It does power on, but never reaches the post screen.

I press reset and then it boots normally...

I flashed the BIOS 3 times now (could be a bios misswriting) but the problem maintains.

This only started when i inserted the ATI card, with my old GF4MX440 worked fine!

Inspite this "feature" i'm pretty pleased with the performance of my home computer, it beats the crap out of the Intel P4 2.8Ghz DDR 400 with SATA here at the office...

Anyway did anyone ever had a similar trouble?

Just has a side note...

I figured out what was going wrong...

It seems the DVD IDE cable was not 100% inserted!
