Monitor goes to sleep if drivers installed 6800 LE

[Fenring]

Well, long story short, I know the card works since I installed it in another machine. In my main machine, A64 3500+ I uninstalled nvidia drivers, safe mode used driver cleaner, then installed new nvidia drivers. Right when it gets past the windows loading screen the monitor goes to sleep. I thought it was my Austin 450W psu. So I bought a new 530w Fortron, Tried seperate rails, unplugged everything but HD same thing. Im at a complete loss. The card works on my old 2100+ system with an allied 400w psu.

Sounds like a hosed windows install to me.

 

[THUGSROOK]

no its hosed drivers. (agp driver)

you have 2 options AFAIK.....
> flash card bios so agp is forced to reload
> format

the card itself is prolly fine.
(yes this has happened to me)

HTH

Hmm I have had an issue with my Asus A8V dx rev2 mobo. When I flashed the newest bios on it's odd, after post it goes through some screens it didnt before says something about bios not installed, then works as normal. After asking around the HardForums it happened to others as well and I just lived with it. Could that be an issue something with the AGP in the bios or no?

Second question, the reason I bought the card is well because I was lurking and started tracking the LE thread. If I flashed in your GT bios woul that force the reload?

 

[THUGSROOK]

yes

Sigh, no luck with either solutions. Formatted, clean install windows. flashed in newest mobo bios. Flashed in the Ultra bios.. still nothing.
