Singers Display Uses All CPU 100%

[ddouglass]

Sorry I thought you were talking about the lyrics display for the singers.
Did you disable the onboard video card? If not then it will still be active and using the same resources.

I looked in the Bios and didn't see any anything to disable. It might of disabled it self once it detected add on card

I have one of the same shuttle computers. I can't see any anything to disable either. I installed a 256 agp video card in mine. It helps a little but sometimes mine has a glitch in the sound and graphics also. I have 2 Meg of memory.

Check in Control Panel/System. Look for the Device Manager on the Hardware tab and disable it there. Both cards should be listed under Display Adapters.

My onboad graphics card doesn't show up. I uninstalled the software to it when I installed the ATI agp board.

It may be down in another area.

i got mine working pretty good, I have a Radeon 9200se 128mb and when i installed it without doing nothing the same thing was happening, So i went into bios. there is three settings for AGP. 1st everything is set at default so I changed the video from PCI to Onboard/AGP Next I changed Buffer from 32M to 128M and then Apeture Size I Upped it to 256M. These Were the Specs for my Card. Now the CPU still goes up to 99% But my graphics don't stop like before. I'll Know better when I put it to the test on Saturday.

It would be probably be Singers database, I Tried putting in a AGP Graphics Card by ATI 9200se and it does same thing. So I don't think it is a Card issue. Laddie is correct, My problem is the same

How'd you guys get the cards to fit without problems?
I got a Nvidia AGP 256 card for mine and couldn't get it to fit without pinching some wires coming out of a connector on the edge of the motherboard and the heatsink interfered with the case?

I have a similiar problem as you guys except mine occurs when I import a singer disk track. Unfortunatly being the only tester with the problem made it difficult to determine if it was a program problem or my computers problem

Reading these I was thinking this might be a Shuttle issue (i have 2) but then I recalled I'm having the same problem with my Acer Laptop.

I don't use the singer database but I'll check it out and see if it does the same as yours.

I also have two shuttles with just about the same thing as yours. I put an ATI 256meg in mine and it didn't make much differance. When I load the singers database it runs the cpu usage up to 100% also. The other shuttle I still use the internal graphics card. They are both running at 100% when you load the singers database. I have 1.5 gig memory in the one shuttle with a 1.3 amd cpu.
The other shuttle using the on board graphics 32meg shared I have 2 meg of memory, and it has a 1.8 amd cpu.
Then on my third computer I have a duell core amd 4400 with 1 gig of memory and it uses 45-50% cpu usage when I load the singers database.
