I just built a new PC w/ a Cirrus Logic 5465 video card. I can't restart or power off the PC. When I click start, shutdown; or start, restart; the screen goes black but the light remains green as if it's in standby mode and I have to hit the power button. Only happens after I install the video card drivers, driver version, 1.71 Has anyone else had this issue, what can I do here aside from purchasing a new card?

Something i tried once, with 98 that is.
Go to start and run and type in msconfig and in the next window under general is a button called advanced. It brings up another menu and choose disable fast shutdown and see if that works.
It worked with avideo card that i just installed and it would put dots on the screen and freeze. But after the fix, no problem.
Good Luck.

In addition to answer number two try checking the settings in bios for "assign irq for vga". This should solve your problem.
