Well not strictly true

It gets to the bit just after the press f8 and the bars at the bottom fill up. Where you would normally see the XP logo and the loading phase its just blank.

However if you press f8 and select load normally - Works everytime. Strange eh ?

Symptons exhibited when I swapped out my 6800le for this card. Only safe mode / last known / vga / normal / wouldnt work. Fresh install of XP. As soon as the nvidia drivers go on it exhibits this behaviour. Tried various versions still the same

Running an athlon 64 3000 on a Chaintech znf3-250


Any ideas ??????

Clear your CMOS and flash your BIOS with the latest build, usually seems like a fix-all solution when it comes to things like this.
