Default black screen lockup when installing drivers

Hi

I'm getting a problem with driver install. The screen dips black, comes back
to the install progress bar, then goes completely black and the KB stops
responding.

Can anyone give me a clue what might be wrong? (or ask me for more relevent
information about the problem?)

thanks

I don't know what it is but I had the same, I restarted the PC and
re-installed and it's been fine since.

OK I'll keep trying, so far it's loaded thanks to the disk which came with
it and an update from an old version of the drivers I found... but... it
still locks up sometimes. The card was working fine until I reinstalled
windows...

I probably need some sort of burn-in test for the card to figure out exactly
where the problem lies.

When you reinstalled windows, you did reinstall mobo drivers? Especially AGP
(if required).

yes, I even followed the instruction to install the "graphy" drivers after
installing AGP.
