Hey guys...
This is a system that I built for a friend:
t-bird 1100 (100 fsb)
abit kt7a
384mb cas2 corsair
leadtek geforce2mx dual head
60 gb ibm hd
ricoh 12x cdr
pioneer 16x dvd
internet pro keyboard w/ hotkeys and 2 usb
optical explorer mouse
sb live
oem 3com winmodem
I got the system working fine, but his modem was giving him troubles. his aol could not communicate with it. so i found some drivers that i think were correct and loaded them. I disabled the two serial ports in the bios to allow the modem to be assigned com1 or com2. then it still wouldn't work. i popped the case and put the modem in another pci slot. when i rebooted i could get it to post and see the windows spash screen, but no desktop. it just sits there flickering a little bit. Sometimes i can still close windows by hitting alt-f4 though. so it is like i just lost my video signal. When that black screen happens, the monitor doesn't say "lost video signal" or anything like that. it is just black. I appreciate any help you guys could give me.
Thanks,
Chris
