nvidia geforce 5500 agp card problem

Asked by kachamanandrao

I hava a AMD athlon 2800+ processor with an AGP card model: nvidia GEFORCE FX5500, 256 MB. I tried to install 2 versions of linux, one Ubuntu 8.04 and PCQ Linux2008. In both the cases, the system after booting into linux, hangs suddenly after few minutes.
Without the graphics card on motherboard, I am able to load any Linux version of OS and work without any problem?
I will be grateful if any one could help to install linux with my AGP card on mother board.

I'm had this happen in the past and it was faulty hardware, I just didn't want to admit it. Does it have any problems if windows?
Does it hang before you can install? or after? or after you enable ati drivers?
Which driver are using with ubuntu?

Dear Eddy,
My AGP card works well in windows. There are no problems in windows. The system hangs after working for few minutes of booting i.e. after installation of linux. So there is no problem while installing linux. It just hangs before doing any thing after booting into linux. I am not enabling any ati drivers after booting.

My AGP card works well in windows. There are no problems in windows. There is also no problem while installing linux. It just hangs before doing any thing after booting into linux. I am not enabling any ati drivers after booting.

Is there a way out to stop hanging of system in linux with AGP card on my motherboard?
