black screen after drivers

Vistrix · Jun 9, 2004, 06:19 AM

After installing a radeon 9200 64mb agp card and drivers (tried omegas latest, 4.5 cat and 3.8) on my work pc the display goes black after booting up windows. I can enter the bios but after windows loads, the monitor doesnt seem to respond. Maybe its something to do with the bios? Any help on this? Thanks. Im just using the pc right now with no drivers installed and with the card fitted.

Windows XP Pro
AMD Athlon 2400+XP @ 1.70Ghz

512Mb PC2100
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9200SE 64Mb

did you try running driver cleaner before installing the drivers?

of course, goes without saying to run driver cleaner. I tried using DVI port and it worked for a while...until it completely froze and restarted and now the DVI port doesnt work.
