Just got a OEM ATi 8500 LE with 128mb on it. OEM come with no drive or utility.. So, d/l one from the main Ati site and installed it and come up with black screen in window bootup. So, don't know what's wrong. I also need o/c utility for this Ati 8500 Le.. thz..

D/L from this Link and intalled it and then reboot with black screen in Window.

You have to uninstall the drivers from your old Nvidia card.

Will try it and let you know.. So far, i don't that will cause it. As you well know those nforce2 board have pci and agp lock function.. Upon the FSB will no cause it.
