PowerColor ATi All-In-Wonder 9800SE Problem

I have just got myself a PowerColor ATi All-In-Wonder 9800SE 128MB

Installed fine, and was working great untill I connected the S-Video input from my Freeveiw Box. Lost signal to CRT monitor. When rebooted the system would no longer post at all. Tried old ATi 9200 card in the place of the 9800SE and the system posted fine and loaded the operating system completely with full graphics.

I then tried the new 9800SE again. The system still wouldn't post at all.

Anyone got any ideas before i throw it at the wall?

System Specification:

AMD Athlon XP 3200+
MSI K7N2 Delta
512MB Crucial 3200 RAM
120GB Seagate BC
Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1
17" Dell E771p
Windows XP Pro SP2 :mad:

Got another box you can try it in to rule out it being knackered?

its f**ked, won't post on another compatible machine either. :crazy:

RMA time...

Hate it when that happens!

Anyone got any suggestions for a better AIW card that won't break the bank?

I was going to buy one of these from Komplett.
Just as well i saw your post.

I've had a couple of oem ones from lowestonweb (see sig), work a treat, theres nothing to compete with them for performance/value imo.

In future connect A/V cables with the computer + corresponding hardware turned OFF! :)

Got a new identical card delivered this morning. It's now working fine (touch wood).

Great card for the money despite problems.
