Video signal loss on startup

[Guest]

I have a 733 P3 with 650K and for the better part of 2 years I have had a
complete signal loss on startup with Win 2K. My system has 3 OS, Win 98, Win
2K and Win XP, I use all of them for various programs and find that this
setup has helped me with the very recurring problem of the Bootsec.dos
corruption, that is something different.

Anyhow, Win2K, on startup will have a complete signal loss, it does not
happen to any other OS on this computer. It could be a driver issue but
Microsoft has updated the driver... the video card is a Chaintech Geforce FX
5200 with AGP, is there something that I am missing with regards to setup and
the AGP slot, I am not sure if this happened with my previous video card on
the PCI Bus.

Like today it took 3 attempts to boot before Win 2K would not default to
'signal loss', I admit I always thought it was a disk issue because the
program does its own scandisk to find a drive to mount to start the program.

Is there anyone that can help.... I have gotten some very good help for
previous problems in the past especially with the 'too much memory' in Win
98..... Thanks!!!!

Check the hardware manufacturer's web site for the latest Windows 2000
driver for your graphics adapter. Also make sure you're not out of the scope
of resolution and or frequency for your monitor.
