Windows doesn't load
posted by IFERGET on Jan 17, 2008
I have an old Dell GX110 (4mb onboard video memory) running windows 2k. I installed this video card and windows hangs up while loading (windows screen status bar is abut half way) and won't go any further. Take the card out, everything works. Reinsert the card, hangs up. Changed the bios to "onboard", plug monitor into onboard plug, everything is fine. The only options in the bios are "auto" and "onboard". I can view the bios on the new card and see everything up to the windows 2k screen.
any suggestions?

found a solution!...led to new problem.
I found an article on this subject (http://www.dbsys.com/content/video_driver_update_for_GX110s.pdf). It seems all I had to do was go into the device manager and disable the onboard graphics driver there, then reload the driver for the card.
Reinstalled driver, couple of reboots, It works... for 5 minutes. Then my monitor got possessed by a psychodelic demon. The screen started to squish and expand horizontally, then vertically, then TWISTED. The monitor shut off and back on. Wierdness accellerates. Now monitor just turns on and off at about 1 cycle per second.

MasterHere's 2 things i would try:
1. Install the latest bios first:
click here
2. When you install the new card, go into the bios first and disable onboard graphics (seems like theres isn't an option for that unfortunately, but check again anyway) choose "auto" if you have no "disable" feature.
3. If you have another pc, or a friend with another pc i would test the card on a different pc just to make sure its not a faulty card.
