BOOT UP PROBLEMS

During the boot process go into the BIOS, usually requires hitting DEL.
Once in BIOS go to through options until you find one mentioning first boot video display and make sur it matched which ever type of display adapter yu are using, i.e. PCI or AGP. Exit saving settings and should boot.

Insert the startup boot disk in the floppy drive and boot computer,select the option to run setup with out cd-rom support,at the command prompt type in SYS C:,this will reinstall the system files

Now check the following for hardware problem

This usually signifies a hardware problem
Open the CMOS panel to the BIOS and in the configuration panel check where the hard drive is set to AUTO,save changes and reboot

If the problem persist then check the video card as stated in Ans. 1,you maywant also update the video drivers

when starting up go into safe mode by pressing f8. choose start up in vga mode. this loads basic drivers for your monitor to start up in... you will have a display. while in safe mode go to control panel, system, device manager, display adaptors and uninstall driver or disable it. try another driver that is suitable for your card and operating system .. which os are you using? for example, if you are using win2k try to find a driver that has being digitally signed (verified by microsoft).anyway, go to the manufacturers site to get the most recent driver that is recommended for your os.

**** another option is if you have been unable to restart AT ALL again since the problem began(if in win2k) is to press f8 at start up and choose"last known good configuration". sorry can't advise for other os systems other than microsoft. good luck and if still having trouble feel free to email me... suse.

What O/S are you using? Do you have a virus scanner installed? After installing the AGP card did the computer reboot and see the monitor, did you get a screen that you could see and use? Try putting the card that you replaced back in and see if yourcomputer boots up. If it does mabie the new card is bad. Check all cards and memory to be sure it is seated correctly.

Boot into safe mode by holding f8 at startup. Once in windows, change display to Standard VGA by rightclicking desktop and selecting properties. Select Settings Tab-Advanced button. Select Adapter Tab-Change button. Let windows run thru the search. When it's done, select to choose Standard VGA.

On the next bootup, look at the CD that came with your graphics card and read the readme file to see how you are supposed to install the drivers.
Some will let you do it thru Add New Hardware in Control Panel while others need you to run the setup.exe files. To me, it sounds like you chose the wrong OS drivers by accident or your card is simply not compatible with your system.

please, what do you mean by DMI POOL DATA, cause nao i have VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA... sucess, but the post stops. I chenged the video card, removed my hard drive to boot from diskette, change the slot of the memory, NOTHINGS. WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW!

I would try to reset your CMOS settings. There may be an invalid setting in your BIOS.

In your comments you mentioned that you have removed the hard drive
Bascially you have to re-install the hard drive

Boot the computer and press the key to enter SETUP
On the drive configuration,set the boot drive as follows,seek Hard drive,floppy,cd-rom
save changes and reboot computer

Now insert the startup disk in floppy drive,reboot computer and select the option to Run Setup Without CD-ROM support,at command prompt type in SYS C: press Enter
After the process completes,eject the floppy and reboot computer
Hopes this solves your problems

if i were you and if it is win98 or win 95 , i would just reset up windows again just rename the programfiles and windows if your hardisk permits just install in a new drive if not del the windows and program files and just installed bak the OS.

Put your old video card back in it and see if you have the same problem. If you don't have the same problem, there might be a problem with that video card. Do you have the latest drivers for the video card?
