I got a TNT2 Pro 16M PCI card,
Installed on the ASUS T2P4, the boot screen is black, there is no display, no abnormal alarm,
It can be displayed normally when installed on MVP3,
why is that?

When on MVP3, the information it shows is:
WinFast 3D S320 II (TNT2 PRO PCI)
BIOS V12.23.1999

could just be some weird clash, the asus board is a couple of years older than the mvp3 i think (not sure) so maybe there is something amiss in the older board

or maybe its something else entirely

to be honest i occasionally encounter these mysteries and unless i find an answer online quickly i tend to just shrug and move on (only to come back to it because i want to solve it ! )
