I got this Rage Fury Maxx with a truckload of computer stuff I bought awhile ago and am just getting around to testing it. I have heard stories that this card can be....difficult. I decided to try it out in a Compaq Prosignia running a Celeron 400 with the 440ZX chipset. Neat machine, with probably the gnarliest heatsink I've ever seen on a CPU. Check out the pic!
Anyway, machine boots fine to the "Insert system disk" prompt (hard drive not yet formatted). Trouble is, whenever I try a warm boot, system hangs and gives the "bad video card" beep codes and I get no display. Turning it off and on again and it's fine, just can't do CTRL-ALT-DEL, or go into BIOS and warm boot reset upon exiting.
System resets fine with another video card, so it's something with either the Rage itself or possibly the way it interacts with this machine. Has anyone had similar issues with this card before?
