orion Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 right, a while back i bought myself a nvidia TNT2 32MB graphics card mainly because my onboard one was crap and made one or two games act strange. anyway i installed the new card disabled the old one removed the drivers that my onboard processor used, everything worked fine for a couple of weeks, then i had a crash which forced me to wipe my hd and install windows ME (i was on XP). Unfortunatly my graphics card did not work with ME so i re enabled my onboard one and removed my TNT2. blah blah blah. i got bored, went back to xp and tried to re-install my TNT graphics card did everything the same as before only to start my machine and find that it freezes on a black screen and stays like that. any 1 know how i can fix this? i should change my signature to; breaks his pc on saturday fixes it on sunday!

bishop245 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 have you tried booting into safe mode or does it even get that far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 This happened to me, although it was with an AGP card. It turned out that the graphics card was not all the way in. It was only a millimeter out, but that caused it. So try firmly pushing it in a little bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transattic Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 i got the same card as you, so i might know a few about it. New drivers might work... get them from www.nvidia.com. Thats a start... try that and get back to us! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 i tryed the new drivers didnt work . and im quite sure the card is in properly . In windows XP i can load up in safe mode no probs, and i can load up in VGA mode but there the only two that work. why do things always have to seem complicated, it will probably be something dead simple.

O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Its a driver problem, I think you are getting a conflict b/t your previous drivers and the new drivers. I would whip the HD Man, I love hardware Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
