Does anybody have any information on what to do about this situation?
ASROCK 775 Dual-VSTA motherboard - upgraded to known good bios
ATI 9700 Pro 128MB AGP card
Fresh HDD - Installed Windows XP. Everything working well. Trying to install Via drivers for chipset, can't, it needs at least SP1. So try to install SP2. Reboot. Boots into windows and after loading screen - no video. Boot into safe mode, do rollback. All good again. Install latest ATI drivers, reboot. Boots into windows and after loading screen - no video. Boot into safe mode, do rollback. All good again. Change bios option from auto AGP to AGP 4x and reboot. Can now install ATI drivers and reboot into windows with no issue. Tried to install SP2 again. Reboot. Boots into windows and after loading screen - no video.
Temps are fine, Motherboard support says flash the bios of the graphic card with the latest bios from the vendor when this problem is seen with a PCI-Express card. But this is an AGP card, could the same solution apply here?
Are there any other solutions?
This is being connected via DVI to a 20.1" dell widscreen. Bios and POST is viewable. Only after the "Windows Xp loading" screen does the monitor stop receiving a signla.
Thanks for any help or direction.
