Sounds as if the back up battery on your motherboard went flat while you were away. Due to this, the settings you changed from default in the bios have been lost, as you noted. Windows may detect the onboard devices as new hardware if any of the settings have changed, and new addresses have been...

Yeah, that does sound quite plausible. I don't think in linux I was running the nvidia driver anymore as it reverted back to the default when I got my new monitor and connected using DVI. I don't get why the AGP connector would suddenly have a problem though... I've had nothing but trouble...

I've tried that, using both the analogue and DVI inputs and cables to my monitor. I'm totally stumped as its all fine with the old tnt2 graphics card but not on either of the newer ones. I've reinstalled windows and that was fine until windows started up for the first time and then the corrupt...

The problem occurs on both my GeForce 6600 and Geforce 4400 graphics cards, the 6600 being brand new so I doubt that both cards could be faulty and displaying exactly the same fault?

Having fiddled around for ages in and out of safe mode and windows recovery console i backed up the few bits on my windows partition using a knoppix cd and did a fresh install. All was well with the graphics until windows went to load for the first time after completing the install where the...

Having fiddled around for ages in and out of safe mode and windows recovery console i backed up the few bits on my windows partition using a knoppix cd and did a clean install. All was well with the graphics until windows went to load for the first time after completing the install where the...

I've not yet no, I'm reluctant to do one unless there really is no other option and a fresh install will solve the problem... I'm not sure for definite that it would yet. Although I have multiple partitions with most stuff not on my windows partition, i'd lose some things from formatting that...

First off sorry for the cross post... but as you will see everyone has been stumped in Technical Support and suggest I try here. Comuter Spec: Gigabyte GA-8KNXP motherboard Intel Pentium 4 "prescott" 3.2ghz 1.5gb Crucial DDR 333mhz RAM GeForce4 Ti4400 Graphics card Enermax 350w PSU...

It does sound similar what you are seeing gredo... my problem only occurs at the start of the windows boot screen however, and never in the bios. It's an odd one isnt it, and like you say I doubt it's the graphics card thats at fault as I've had the same with two different cards. Like you, I...

Yeah I did, or at least reinstalling the agp chipset drivers re-enabled the agp440 service. Without doing that windows isnt aware of any graphics card/monitor you have and you cant install graphics drivers etc. The Tnt2 which I changed the jumpers on to 4x is a 2x/4x card which I set to 4x...

Yeah some of the stuff I've read about weird artifacts and lines and things like I'm getting has suggested the PSU but like you say it was fine for a year in that configuration before the RMA of my board. Also, I've got linux dual booting on here and my geforce 4 was fine in that while I was...
