after installing a new video driver for a diamond speedster a70 8mb agp card, after i rebooted there was the xp splash screen then a beep then no display, but it would appear that windows is starting because the windows sunds are all there but no display.
tried 2 new video cards and still the same result...nothing

Dear Friend.


Fisrtly, u must have to remove ur Ramdun Access Memory (RAM) clean it and plug it into the Slot. If still same then change the RAM.


Secondly, remove ur Proccessor (i.e., Intel of others) clean it and plug it into the Slot.


If still same problem then Contact Hardware Engineer or write down the situation i'll tell u more steps to solve this problem.


Best of Luck.

I doubt if cleaning ram chips or cpu's will solve your problem. However, reading and following recommendations by Microsoft might. :gabby:
