Video driver problem

**nasa** · 01-07-2007, 02:30 PM

Hi,

I am trying to troubleshoot driver problems with my carputer...

I am running WinXP SP2 and the following MB
http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetai...Code=MTB%2D014

Problem description:

when the drivers (either from the cd or downloaded from VIA) I am losing video signal from my computer upon it trying to login. It does go through the boot screen and I can get into safe mode. If I remove the video device from Device Manager, it boots up *correctly*.

I figure it must be some kind of driver conflict -- just not sure how to figure that out. The computer had been running fine for the last week or so... And the only thing I have been working on is getting bluetooth working. Bluetooth drivers were finally correctly installed last night and everything continued to work ok. This morning is when I first ran into the issue.

Any Suggestion?

Actually it sounds like your display resolution is set too high for the monitor you're using. Got another monitor you can plug in?

Yeah,

I am running my carputer on my bench right now, and yes the same things happen. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I had this MB before and I had accidently selected TV as an output in the BIOS and it did this same thing. Have you tried to hook up a tv to see if the output is switching to it. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys,

I talked to tech support and have RMA's the board. Let's see what they have to say about it!

masch:

It was a bad board. MP3Car swapped it out for me... I have since gotten rid of that board (more trouble than it's worth) and now working with a Duo Core MB.
