quicksilver issues removing a pci card

[madmann]

i have a 1 ghz dual processor quicksilver

the issue starts in the osx forum but i now think it may be a hardware issue.

I got an agp radeon 7500 card to replace the 9200 pci card in my machine for faster video.

all went well until the next morning and the machine booted into darwin black screen with white letters asking for your login.

if i put the 9200 back in the machine boots fine. if i remove the card it boots fine until it sets turned off overnight then it boots into darwin. I have zapped the parameter ram and unplugged the machine a pushed the cuda button which resets the clock to 1959 or something. none of this has helped

it acts like i am loosing power to something or i have a bad part. if i pull the card and start the machine it will work fine. I can reboot many times no problem.

any more ideas

also in darwin i tried mac-boot and i get a command unknown that has never worked

I'm guessing your new card is bad. Where did you get it from?

[madmann]

why would the new card be bad?

why would the new card be bad?

Why would it give you these crazy errors when normally video cards are just plug and play?

Is this a flashed PC card?

[madmann]

i do not know about being flashed sorry
i got it off ebay from i think apple mechanix

i think i will put an old rage 128 in place of the 9200 and see if it likes that.

every thing works fine unless i remove the radeon 9200 that has no monitor connected to it.

Can you find us the item number? It would be your My eBay page under Items I've Won.

this morning i removed the 9200 and put my old rage 128 in its place and all is well this allowed me to move the 9200 to my blue and white

the card item number is as follows

The Radeon 7500 in that auction is most certainly a flashed PC card.

thanks Dan

the 7500 likes having the pci card installed. I will e-mail the seller with some complaints i have found some display issues in the finder.

What would be a good video card got my quicksilver dual 1 ghz machine. What i have been using is a 9200 pci card. I am convinced that the flashed 7500 has problems. I still use os 9.2.2 and osx.
