I am trying to finish installing windows XP and I get this symptom
Symptom:
-During Installation when it gets to the part about the date and stuff it cuts to either a black screen, a blue screen, or a bunch of stripes.
and it also does this for pretty much any program. I don’t have windows installed so pretty much I have been trying to boot from CD and this keeps happening.
Things I know it’s NOT:
-It’s not overheating, Checked the fan and it is spinning and also left he case open and it still did it
-It’s not the monitor. I can connect my laptop to it for as long as I want and it never goes black.
-It’s nothing on the graphics card I can physically see, The gold strip has no black on it and it looks fine.
So, Any idea what is going on? I’m thinking I may have to purchase a new Graphics card, For it is three years old.
NOTE: This all started when I tried to install windows 7 and it corrupted my drive so I nuked it and ever since I nuked it I have been getting this problem. Maybe I nuked the Driver? I don’t know. If so… How can I install the driver with no OS or Monitor for that matter?
