My mate has got a Chaintech 6BTM mobo and was using an AGP TnT graphics card. He has just bought a Creative GeForce MX and has installed it. These are the problems and things that have gone wrong with it:
1. It boots into safe mode using the standard VGA driver
2. It boots into safe mode using the reference drivers
3. It sometimes boots into normal mode when using the standard vga driver
4. using the reference drivers, windows tries to load up, after the mode con messages in dos while booting up, the hard drive makes a long whirring sound for about 40 seconds, then stops responding, a couple of times it actually did boot into windows but stayed in the dos screen(????????????????)
He has done all the deletes of the old driver software for the TnT card, and has downloaded all the latest drivers from versions 6-7. he can not get into windows and even if he an it will crash on him or do soemthing else funny.
Please help him! He is very anxious to get his computer up and running again! Here are his system specs:
pII 400-->448
128ram, 8gb, sblive, 19" monitor, creative fps2000 speakers, optical mouse, internet keyboard, 4x cd writer, 32x cdrom, 300 watts supply. Used to be TnT but not hopefully with help it would be GeForce 2MX.
Thanks! All help is welcomed!

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!
