I am trying to upgrade my system to the following
Gigabyte GA-7DXR
Atholn XP2200
Raptor
Matrox G400 dual head
Soundblaster live
512mb ddr
creative USB modem
Win XP Pro
I can install all ok, but after the initial XP boot screen it goes blank.
I can restart in Safe mode and have tinkered with various drivers but to no effect. still blank screen
I have also tried W2000 pro that will install and but I loose the modem during dialup.
Any suggestions? Anyone had success with the same setup?
I have a GA7DX not the GA7DXR though,
I believe the standard raptor has been discontinued now, therefore i am assuming it is the DV Raptor RT you have/ are considering?
If not then the old raptor might well not support WIN XP, it would help if you could give a more detailed spec of your machine and the Raptor.
regards
Canopus still support Raptor and RT with Drivers 2-12a. The GA-7DX is listed as compatible by Canopus.
You say you are trying to upgrade?????
have you actually fitted the Motherboard
and if yes did you format the hard drive
I have a Raptor 'classic' working with XP and it all works like a charm
