Monitor dead????

[Guest]

My agp card is Nvidia TNT2 64/pro and it works well with my non descript CRT
monitor.Last week while scanning a sec slave hdd, it seems the driver for the
card been changed automatically to just Nvidia TNT2 64 and the colour
intensity is very high or dark shade.
I try to re-install back the original driver which at the end it also give
me a message asking for my monitor driver "005LD 0300501 MicroScanE44" . (I
dont have the monitor cd anymore). Since then the monitor went blank or dark
screen. Question is is my monitor dead now?. (If I on the power for the
monitor without any connection, it gives a warning asking to check video
cable). Thanks for the knowledge.

If you have Microsoft's Automatic Updates turned on you may have downloaded
the MS version of the driver for your card without you knowing it. Go to
NVIDIA's web site and download the latest driver from their site and install
it.

If your monitor is indicating you should check the cable, that indicates
that the monitor passed its own internal self test. So the monitor
is -probably- OK.

Check the monitor cable at both ends: Unplug and replug it. See if helps.

If not, then get latest drivers from the actual video card manufacturer for
your sound card; go right to their site and download them, then install
them.
Do not use the MS Update stuff for monitor drivers. I say that because
last I was there I noticed an optional monitor driver available. MS isnt'
always up to date with those.

Still no help? Try a different monitor on the computer.
Still no help? Uninstall/reinstall your video card and its drivers.
Still no help? Proably a bad video card, but without being there it's
pretty hard to say.
Still no help? Time for shop-level help.

I don't think its a driver issue since most CRTs are handled by Windows XP
without issue.

Boot to Safe mode. Does the monitor work in standard vga?

Try a lower refresh rate 60-75 hertz. If its set too high for that monitor
it will do what you describe. Boot to safe mode to check it.

Try another (known to be good) monitor if you can. Does the problem persist?
Video card may be suspect.

I worked on a PC with that video card and found that later drivers were
problematic. I went to Nvidia support archives and downloaded and installed
an earlier version and that fixed it. Completely uninstall current version
first.
