Hi everybody,
I ran into a problem today with a computer and I have pretty much given up hope.
I have one of those Shuttle XPC SN41G2 (Nforce 2 Chipset).
Athlon 2000XP
Western Digital HD (S.E.) and a CD-Rom Drive
Windows XP, Direct X 9 with the DX 9 SDK installed
Originally, the onboard Geforce 4 MX was used. Everything was fine and dandy.
Then, about a few weeks ago, an attempt was made to put a DX9 card from ATI into the machine.
Appearently that horribly failed (don't know details) so a Best Data 5600 was placed instead.
Unfortunetly, it was installed properly. It was running in AGP (PCI Mode) instead of AGP 8x or 4x.
I attempted to fix this and have failed. Here is what I did.
I uninstalled the Best Data drivers. I uninstalled all the nforce drivers (chipset and video card).
I used a DriverCleaner to remove all remnants of the above drivers.
I reinstalled the chipset drivers. Reboot.
I reinstalled the video card drivers newely released off Nvidia's website.
Reboot showed the initial load screen but no login screen and LCD turned off.
I reset and rebooted into VGA mode and it worked!!
But when I tried to switch from 640x480 to 1024x768
it did not work!! I got a black screen and the LCD turned off.
I have tried both the newely released Nvidia drivers and the Best Data drivers on the CD.
Anybody else experience this? Could it be the LCD not liking something?
If I change the refreshe rate, resolution or even the color depth, the screen will go black.
