The card is distributed by a company called PNY, and as nvidia don't support their graphics card (Rather, they manuacture the chips which are then used on the card by a different company) I'll have a look at their drivers too. I thought that maybe by default the graphics card is set to too high a reolution, so that on startup the monitor can't show display it? If so safe mode should boot.just a guess, going over all possibilities. I don't have access to this PC at the moment (I will soon, I'm at the wrong house) and I will try that. Still using onboard video, I unistalled the driver I had just got of the CD, went to the Nvidea website and installed their latest driver, but I still get all the same symptoms and nothing has changed. using onboard video but the graphics card still just gives a black screen (The monitor still has a signal, so no 'Stand By' mode) after login. I changed to onboard and swapped the monitor lead to onbord video connector. My bios only has options for Auto or Onboard. If I blindly type in my password and hit enter, I can hear the windows startup sound. When I rebooted, POST went fine as did the windows loading screen, but then the screen went blank. I removed the 5200 and installed the brand new 6200, booted up, logged into windows (In a strange resolution) and installed the driver from the CD supplied. ![]() I have upgraded from a GeForce 5200, which worked fine. I have a dell PC with XP home SP2, 512mb Ram, 2.8ghz Pentium D onboard video and a new GeForce 6200 graphics card.
