No AGP Boot on Intel D815EFV

Hello All,

Brief Question, I can't boot to an AGP card. I have selected AGP as the
default video displayed on boot in bios, but the imbedded PCI video is the
only one that comes up. The AGP card has been verified working from 2 other
Intel boards.

SPEC:

MoBo Gateway KittyHawk (#2514929), Intel # D815EFV (imbedded video)
Phoenix Bios (from Gateway) EA81520A.15A.0011.P08, 8/6/02, Gateway BIOS
p/n 9519109
Video Card - ATI All-In-Wonder Pro AGP, Rage Pro #1024463930

Gateway cannot help as this board was not purchased thru them.

Any help appreciated.
Thx, jeff

Hi Jeff, I don't have that MB, but have several INTEL based boards.
All have the capability to turn off the On-Board AGP in the BIOS. Have
you turned your's off?

Hi Jeff,
You will also need to disable the embedded video in BIOS before
the AGP will be able to be used as the default video. Otherwise, the
mobo will revert to the onboard video on startup. Gateway should have
been able to tell you this. Contact Intel or search their site for
instructions on how to accomplish this.

Jim,

This bios has video select on boot as either AGP or PCI. I have selected
both & recently tried another known working AGP card (2.0 spec). Both to
the same results. I suspect the board has a defective slot. Just thoght
maybe someone else had some input.

Thx, jeff

You should also disable/uninstall the onboard PCI video in Windows through
Control Panel -> Settings -> System -> Hardware.

HTH, let us know how it goes

Thanks for the help, but if I'm not mistaken, the OS would not have anything
to do with it (I should have stated this was all in POST). There is no
signal (to the monitor) from any AGP card installed (settings in bios
previously stated from the original post). All of this is during POST,
before OS load.
I thought I was missing something. Appears a defective MoBo.

thx for the help, jeff

Can you help me to figure out that AMD good or Intel good?

Can you help me to figure out that AMD good or Intel good in now ?

Have you tried another AGP video card in the problem machine with the same
results?

Are there any options in BIOS to disable onboard video or set the initial
video to AGP? You'd have to use the onboard video to check this out, of
course, then switch back to the AGP once you've made your changes and
restarted.

A small number of motherboards have jumpers to disable onboard video.
Check the manual for the machine for details.

AMD does more operations per clock cycle (9), while Intel only does
(6). AMD wins in the benchmarks. AMD does more faster.
