I have installed win 2000 advanced server on a PC with 40GB hard drive 352mb memory p2 processor AGP slot graphics card. It loaded fine no probs, i have re-booted several times with no probs. Then i changed the graphics card for a 64mb from an 8mb &it wouldn't even reach the post . I have put the original card back in but it still does not come up with anything on the screen. The hard drive spins up for a second then that is it. Any suggestions.

Put back original card, then boot with last good config, or VGA config.
Change video driver to standard VGA card.
Change card.
Reboot. Then install new driver

hmmm. check the bios settings for anything to do with the video but maybe you have coincidental failure of something else...maybe fan on processor became unplugged? check fans, reseat RAM and cards...
