Actually, just looking at the Pinnacle Systems Website, www.pinnaclesys.com and they have got numerous angry customers all asking the same question but no reply from pinnacle yet!!!

You are not alone with this one, have exactly the same problem and have not found a way round it, yet!!! Adam

I have mine is PCI 2 also....do not know about the KR7a but had a KT7A-RAID before and it worked in PCI 2 which I think is because the slot is not a shared IRQ have a look in your manual and it should tell you.

I have the Santa Cruz card and I can say that it was alot better than my SBLive Value card that I had before... I don't know about the CD as i never use it now but if it does not come with Win2K drivers just download the latest from the webiste which I am using now with no probs. Hope this helps! Adam

If you look at my sig gives all the details of my system! I ahve had my GeForce 2MX die on me and have ordered a new Gainward GeForce 4 4200 64mb version. I am just making sure that my 300watt PSU will be able to handle it or shall I buy another one.....if so what make!!! Hope it all makes sense Adam

My PSu must be about three years old....cannot remember exactly but I was buying a 700mhz slot a athlon at the time

Well I have now got my GeForce 4 and it is running with no problems and my 5volt rail is holding steady at 4.91v.....I will upgrade when I get rid of my Athlon and buy my P4 soon hopefully...thanks for all your help..!!! Adam

It was a PSU that I bought with my case quite a while ago now! Back in the days when I had a slot A Athlon.....it is not an enermax PSU but I am unsure of the make!

Thanks for all your help....I will find out tomorrow when the card arrives!!!

I have had the above board for about a year now and my whole system runs very stable and no problems at all....apart from today! i was playing a game which suddenly stopped running and had to be closed down....windows XP then said that my graphics card driver was causing problems with stability and should be changed. I rebooted my computer and then the bios beeped one long beep and then three short ones....which means graphics card failure. Opened the case removed my GeForce 2MX and reinserted the card...still would not work! Every time booted up same noises and then nothing on the screen! Then replaced the card with an old ATI Rage MAXX and the system booted up fine with no problems at all......removed the card replaced the GeForce again and still nothing! I was thinking about upgrading my graphics card to a GeForce 4 but I thought my old card would not have heard me speaking about it!!!!! Anybody help with this problem...I have updated the bios also to the latest one about a month ago! Thanks Adam

Thanks for your help.....still not seeing the card at bootup....and windows xp hated by Rage card...munning on my old voodoo3 now for a little while until I come back of holiday then GeForce 4 here I come...thanks anyway Adam

I thought that might be the case....have tried it in my second machine...a PIII 500 and it did boot up first time...... Do you still think that it is dead...should I be looking for a new card? Adam
