I can't boot up my computer with my new graphics card.

[Bulko]

I have just bought a sapphire HD 2400 pro ATI radeon, AGP edition and tried to install it onto my MSI 854 max (ms 6566e) motherboard. Ifollowed all of the instructions uninstalling the old driver first, but i am not able to get the computer past the initiation stage. I've tried to install the latest drivers but i'm having trouble to find any newer than the ones i have. The chipset is an 845e pentium4. The AGP driver that i have already is 82845 processor to AGP controler 1A31, driver date 30/07/2001, driver version 3.20.1001.0. I can't find a newer version than this specifically for the 845e chipset. The mother board is an AGP x4 and the card says it is compatible with both AGP X4 and X8. What should i do to get it working? I need the help of a computer wizz kid...


NB my motherboard doesn't have onboard graphics

So you turn it on and it doesn't even attempt to load from the HD?

Since you can't even boot, bios would be the first place to start, though I have my doubts about compatability with your mainboard.
Otherwise, you could try a newer? chipset driver from Intels site and see if it helps.
