I'm having a strange compatibility issue with an old HP workstation.
The motherboard model is xw6000, dual Xeon 3.06 processors, 2G RAM, and it runs fine except that I would really like to put my Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 in there, but for whatever reason when I plug that particular card in, it wont boot... I see the video card's info, like its going to boot normally, but then it just flashes to a blank screen.
Its an AGP 8x slot, the card fits and everything, and in fact a 128M GF4 Ti4400 works just fine in there. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, but I can't seem to find out what that is. As far as I know, the FX 5500 is the newer card, but it just doesn't want to work.
The solution eludes me.
Can anyone help me out?
