Intel Smack Down and i7
I have just finished this system build and have one small problem..
I have 32 bit Xp and 3 gig of DDR3 installed together with 2 Geforce 9600 GSO. Now the problem arrises when i boot after the system has been off overnight or for some time during the day. On first boot it goes through the process then i have no picture on the monitor, its only a day old so i know its not that and anyway, it did it with the old one as well. If i reset then the system boots to the naughty screen lol......... i choose to load windows normally and the system boots straigh to GUI. Its a pain more than anything and with the whole set up being new i hate the idea of it not working as it should, BIOS is latest as is the board drivers, and the video drivers. ANy ideas anyone ???? |

"its only a day old so i know its not that and anyway, it did it with the old one as well." You might want to explain that as it is likely key to your problems. What parts did you reuse from "the old one", for instance... |

Sorry, i can see that seems to make little sense now, Anyway, there is
nothing in the systen from the old one it was the monitor i was talking about. I bought a new one to go with the new system but tried the old one as well. Same problem occurs with both |

Same problem occurs with both When you boot from a "cold state" do you ever see the bios-driven screens or are those black as well? If you at least see the initial Windows boot screen I'd try pressing F8 when Windows tries to load and enable boot logging, then examine the ntbtlog.txt in the \windir folder to see what happened... |

Ok I know its really Smack Over
But what a silly name,
Thank you daytripper and i see theintel screen, the changing number and letter sequences in the bottom right corner and windows Xp screen its not till the actual boot to winows that it dies, press reset and let it go again and it boots straight in. Maybe its the double graphics,,,,,,,,, but i suppose if thats all i have to complain about then its not so bad. Awesome when it does boot though. |

I have seen a similar issue before where the computer will display all the
images up till the logon screen and then the display would just go blank. unplug and replug the monitor on the same port and it would start working again. Some sort of incompatibility between certain monitors and video cards with the monitor not correctly identifying itself on the dvi port. Was solved on this particular computer by putting a DVI-VGA adapter on the video card and then running a VGA cable to the monitor (monitor had both DVI and VGA ports). Not an ideal solution because DVI is better quality that VGA but the computer worked first time every time. HTH Robert "Jack" wrote in message . ..

Thanks for that Robert but it does it with the Formac and with a new Dell. I
can only think to take one graphics card out and try it with a single one in and see if it is something to do with the graphics set up. |

For SLI or Crossfire, you typically need at least a 600W power supply. Yousuf Khan |

But this piece of advice does not mean that you venture out and wearpurple socks or shoes to match your purple shirt. It will smack of being cheapand flashy. Avoid purple shoes and any kind of purple dresses which are thesame color from top to bottom | [email protected] | General | 0 | April 21st 08 11:25 AM |
