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?

What version of windows are you using?
I was looking at the drivers and alll i seen was Windows 3.1, 95, NT4. If you have ME it may not work. Unless someone else has a suggestion that would work.

It's a driver issue as jou mentioned , so no need to go buy a new card.
Just change the driver back to the original one and you are done.

1. startup in safe mode (by pressing f8 while when you see "starting windows" and choose standerd vga. Thiswill restore the video driver to a standard vga driver.
Then boot in normally. When you are in win98, update the driver with the one from your manufacturer cd. That will install the original driver again.

Since you mentioned you build the pc, ifyou have the older videocard you can install that also.

regards,

Leopold
