I was replacing my Geforce 5200 with a Geforce 6600, and adding 1
Gig of ram to the 1 Gig that was already there. When i started up the
computer, it started normally and recognized the new video card. It preceded
past the windows XP Home loading screen and went to a black screen for a long
period(about 6-10min) and but when it finally got to the loading screen both
the login icon, and the shutdown icons were missing.
I tried a few things to fix this problem. I put the old card back
in and took out new ram and same problem occurred. I entered classic login
with ALT-CTRL+Delete and it did not recognize my normal login when i typed it
in. I also tried system repair with the CD and it just went though startup
including black screen and missing icons.
I appreciate any help you can give me regarding this issue. Does
it sound like a hardware issue or a software one?
