help

I just had a very similar problem on my new system, and GOT IT FIXED after trying several things! :).

My problem was the same you describe: Everything was fine, until i installed the video driver. On the first reboot after installing the driver Windows loads normally until right before the welcome screen. The display goes black and display LED blinks. I can tell Windows still continues to load because i can hear the startup sound from my speakers and the harddisk activity looks normal too. The system will even shutdown properly with a single push on the power switch. So no crashes or anything, just no display output. Booting to safe mode is fine. In safe mode you can remove the Nvidia driver in Device Manager so you can boot back to normal mode again.

After googling i tried various things:
- First went on installing all the other drivers and updated the BIOS, since it was a brand new system on a fresh install. This may be a useful tip for people with the same kind of problem: Always check your motherboard's site for the latest BIOS version.
- Tried the latest driver from Nvidia's site (the first time was the driver offered trough Microsoft Update). Nvidia's own driver got me past the welcome screen, but a few seconds after the welcome screen the display went black again. I guess Nvidia's own driver applies the new settings a little later than the one offered by Microsoft's Update. A slight improvement, but no fix.
- Switching off Write Combining is suggested in farious forum topics, but i couldn't find this option. And i'm afraid i i change this option it will just be reset once i install the driver. No fix there.
- Tried another cable. Both cables were DVI, but i read somewhere a guy fixed this by buying a new DVI cable and i had a second one laying around. Would have tried a analogue VGA cable too, but couldn't find one. Cable doesn't seem the problem either(for me).

At this point i was about to try the videocard from my old system to see if it had the same problem, but went to my BIOS settings first. After looking around in the BIOS settings i changed two settings:
- Plug And Play O/S (Advanced > PCI/PnP Settings): Changed from Yes to No.
- Initiate Graphic Adapter (Advanced > Chipset Settings > North Bridge Chipset Configuration): Changed from PEG/PCI to PCI/PEG.
Saved changes, reboot, installed drivers again, reboot, and... IT WORKED! So changing one (or both) of those settings above did the job. I don't feel like figuring out which of the those two settings was really responsible for the trouble right now (already spent way to much time on this), but i post this for people with the same problem googling for an answer.

Relevant system specs:
Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT GPU
Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Hope this will be helful to someone...

I am having some similar problems.Initially I was not getting any connection from the cpu to the monitor quite a lot of times.Then it showd "bluee screen of death"symptoms,after startup,hanging badly and then the BSOD symptom.Now sometimes a black screen is shown after startup and everything hangs or boot screen hangs by itself or sometimes while booting my windows the screen hangs and stucks up there.Also during boot,the functional keys are not working.So i cannot check the hard disk.I have a dual boot system with suse and windows xp,where in suse by itself again some other problems are there like lan port disables by itself if suse is booted and even after reboot with windows,it doesnot work.
Is it any problem with the RAM?please help.urgent.I have work to do urgently in my computer.

helo my computer still goes to blank screen but i buyed a reboot cd and clicked on windows xpe then my compueter worked but with no good graphics

I think though, that the best solution would be to login in safe mode ... as an Administrator of that computer and then run a system restore for a previous date ... it worked fine that way for me ...

Hi guys.

Have read a couple of suggestions but i still have the problem...
trying to install new graphicscard on my computer and i cant get in to windows with the new card in the pci-e slot. i just get the Microsoft corporation screen and no movement in the bar... (vista 32) and it halts here...

9800GTX card and i have plenty of power from 550W new source...

could it be the freekin motherboard that cant recognize it? I have uninstalled the drivers to the old card and that didnt help much....

please if someone have an idea of what i can do?!

i have a msi board - 7125 (
Chipset
• NVIDIA ® nForce4 Ultra Chipset
- HyperTransport link to the AMD Athlon 64/Athlon 64FX CPU
- HyperTransport supporting speed up to 1GHz (2000MT/s)
- Supports PCI Express X16/X4/X1 interface
- Two independent SATA controllers, for four drives
- IEEE 802.3 NVIDIA MAC for 1000BASE-T
- Dual Fast ATA-133 IDE controllers

I had a similar problem but I run Vista 64 bit. I ended up formatting, re-installing Vista, installing all Vista updates EXCEPT the video card drivers. After that I flashed the BIOS to the latest version, set optimized defaults in BIOS then re-installed the drivers for the graphics card.

Hope that helps you as well!

that happened to me after putting a new wireless card in it, people say its static but it still works just what u said i guess

i found the fix for that;try to run pc in dual view,second monitor or tv out.there open nvidia control panel and make pc monitor the default out. the problem is not the pc or vga,vista 64 have proublems ro recognize monitors.i hope this help.

heyo. i'm having similar problems. but i'm only running a Windows XP SP2 OS. sometimes, my screen cant load (but my PC is still running. hearing the sounds and all that.), and others it just hung while i'm doing my work halfway. can some one help me please? =)

I can't even get it to boot into safe mode, f8 is failing me. Help!

None of these solutions worked for me, my computer was working fine, then one day this problem started. Windows would act like it was starting up, then go to a black screen, thinking I might have some bad ram or other hardware issue, I took the drive out, I had a clone on my old drive for this same system, I popped it in all was fine, it was a small 40 gig drive tho. So I tried everything I could to not have to reformat and redo the entire drive. I put my copy of windows xp, tried the whole restore thing, that did not work, I took the drive back out and made a back up of all content, ran an antivirus check on it no virus's were found. I tried flashing my cmos, then tried to restore again and it did not work. I tried to start in in safe mode and that only made it freeze up really good. I think it is a microsoft udate that screwed me up, that is what it did just before it started this updated restarted went retarded, thanks microsoft, now I get to spend the nex few days reloading, updating and up grading about 30gigs of software and files. The only thing I got to work was reformatting the drive and reloading crappersoft.

I just read on microsoft.com many people are having similiar problems to mine, it appears to be an AMD chip related deal. I wonder if microsoft planned that to help get rid of AMD, I guess I will try that next time, but from now on auto update will be forever turned off.

Hi

I have an HDTV connected to my 6800 GS via DVI - HDMI, Vista 64 home premium. On startup I manage to get to the windows bar on the HDTV and then it dissapears?!?! Thinks carrty on as normal on the Dell monitor. The Nvidia control panal recognises the "Sharp HDMI" and I can go ahead and change resolutions and settings etc, same with windows nothing happens on screen. I have been through all the resolutions and frequencies also. When I startup on safe mode the HDTV mirrors the monitor perfectly with no probs, so I am assuming its a driver problem. Im using the 175 nvidia forceware.

Any ideas?

Hi

Its the windows basic 800 x 600, it works no problem, but when windows starts up normally and (i assume) the nvidia drivers kick in the screen goes blank just after the Windows Logo. Firmware on Sharp Aquos is also up to date. I am also going bald through pulling my hairs out one by one at this!!!!
