Installing Windows blackens my Lilli

dbzeag · 02-08-2006, 09:51 PM

So I am running a Lilli with my Via SP13000. When I just played around a bit in the BIOS, I set it for 1024 by 768. Everything was working fine until I started to try and load Windows XP.

When the disk boots, I can see everything just fine. It is when the system reboots to complete the setup that the video goes out. Something is wrong while completing the setup.

Has anyone seen this issue? Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Well, when I adjust the setting to 800 by 600, the install works, just offcenter. What'st going on?

Did you installed the VGA drivers? (this happens sometimes whn you just finished installing the OS, but it get fix when you load the right VGA drivers)

Thanatos.

It doesn't get that far. It hasn't loaded the OS to completion before it blacks out. The OS technically isn't on the machine yet.
