When windows loads screen goes white

Hi all,

Long time no see. Finally i've had time to install my carpc, and so i did.
Yesterday i've played with it abit (last modifications) and after that when the computer loads windows , the screen goes white (when windows was loaded) meaning through dos, win98 SE loading everything is visual.After its been loaded (i dodnt see the cursor or anything after the resoulution change).

Any ideas?

I've using a cheap *** 7.2 " tft lcd STN (RCA IN) though its all i need and it worked great 15 minutes before.

Welp its the darn monitor for sure, ive connected a 17" CRT screen (VGA input) just to check it and everything is ok, the computer is alright.

What does that mean that i can see dos but cant see windows?? (refresh rates changed suddenly) that something fried there?.

if so, does anyone selling their Xenarc/ Liliput VGA + Touch for $200 and under?.

But that darn monitor is a RCA one... its set on TV OUT and in the bios its set on CRT+TV

thats ok...

try another random tv or something... if that works, yeah it's the monitor... if that also doesn't work, it's gotta be the settings.. when it goes into windows, some drivers or software settings or something tells it to not display on the tv-outs correctly.

Thanks alot! i forgot about the damn drivers (S3 YUCK)... for some reason it changed the display view to CRT (only) , so i connected a CRT monitor again (my back hurts...) and changed it and voila it works!

Thanks
