Hi. Running XP on a 2400+, ASUS board, NVidia video.
Yesterday, XP changed the frequency of the video output so
that the monitor could not show it. This results in a
suddenly black screen. If rebooting, I get to the splash
screen and then it is totally black. The only reason I
know what has happened is that the monitor is smart enough
to flash a message that the frequency has been altered to
one it cannot handle. It's been frequencies like 75.2 Hz,
103 Hz, and other bizarre ones like that. I can go in safe
mode, change the frequency back to 60 Hz, reboot into XP
from there, but the next time XP boots up, same black
screen with the screwed up frequency.
Any ideas?
From the look of it, I'm not the only one with this
problem. I think the others who have left messages about
black screens are suffering from the same thing, only
their monitors can't tell them.
