Problems with my ATI x1650 Pro graphics card!!

Hey guys,

I got a Pavilion a545c (ya i know, bear with me) and i just bought myself a x1650 PRO radeon graphics card in early december, the problem is i cant get it to work.. The mother board that i have is "ASUS A7V8X-LA" .At first i thought it was maybe because i had a Geforce 2 card installed so i formatted my disk and reinstalled windows yesterday hoping it would work. After installing the new ATI catylist 8.1 , i still have the same f***ing 3d rendering problems, seems to be a problem with my direct X. When i wrote to ATI support they said that its probably a motherboard problem? The graphics card is an AGP and i have only 1 slot, the other 3 are PCI. Here is the list of errors that i get when i do the directx test when i run dxdiag.

"Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Generic failure) "
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code) "
Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code)"

If someone needs the whole dxdiag report i can send the .txt if this isnt enough.

Hopefully you guys can be of some help, kinda bummed that i have 180$ sitting in my comp that i cant use to play games like entropia universe.

Thanks in advance,
Konrad
