A friend of mine has an Asus P2B-VT (BX chipset). It's an Asus OEM board manufactured for HP. It has onboard video, audio. The board has integrated TNT1 video.
His screen resolution sometimes slips back to 640x480. He's loaded the latest nVidia drivers for it, and that helped his 3D Mark 2000 score. He reboots and sometimes the resolution goes back to normal, but sometimes he only gets a black screen with a blinking cursor. He has reloaded the original drivers but the same things happen.
He installed a new HD about a month ago with a fresh "Recovery Disk" reload. It's been working fine, up to about a week ago.
This problem is very random. It alternates between 1. good resolution, 2. 640x480 and 3. the black screen.
Does it sound like his onboard video is getting ready to make an exit?
Thanks
BTW, He's the original owner of the system. And he hasn't ever OC'd the CPU or video.
