P4P800 SE: XP splash screen is garbled and after that monitor goes intoidle (no video signal)
Hi,
After running smoothly for 3 months suddenly my computer, after booting XP, shows a garbled XP splash screen (walking progress bars go beyond their boundary) and subsequently the monitor goed into idle state (no video signal) or shows a monotonous light bluish with black stripes. Another monitor gives the same results. I reinstalled Win XP (after reformatting my C:\ partition). XP now boots okay and everything works fine (using the XP graphics drivers). However, after subsequently executing the Intel INF update utility (infinst_enu.exe from http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...6&DwnldID=7484) and restarting my computer, the strange symptoms re-occur. Pushing the reset button will eventually show the XP recovery screen and when I select to revert to my old configuration, XP boots okay (but without the updated motherboard drivers from the Intel INF update utility of course). When I executed the same Intel INF update utility 3 months ago I had no problems. What is the problem? Is my motherboard broken? By the way, on my P4P800 SE I have a P4 Prescott 2.8E and a ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MB graphics card. Thanks, Jur |
