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 |

Have you tried re-seating your video card?

Eric,
I followed Pete D's suggestion: re-seat the video card. Basically I removed my video card from the AGP slot and reattached it. I hope this works for you as well. Jur |

Jur That didn't work...........I have gone back to my old Radeon 7500 which is working fine in WinXP, but is now corrupting the display in the bios and startup screens..............all the images are trailing to the right like they are wind blown.......once XP starts up, it produces a clear display. |
