Black screen after rebooting with updated drivers

[douglejg]

After updateing the drivers on my GeForce 7600, my computer crashed and restarted. Now all i get is a black screen. I removed the card and tried using the onboard graphics, still nothing. I also put a much older trident card in and still got nothing. My moniter works with other computers, the graphics card works in a old win 98 computer i have lying around. I have no idea how to get a picture so i can try and fix the drivers...Any one have any idea?


my setup:
mainboard: MSI 915G combo
Memory: 2x 1 Gig kingson DDR2
power: AGI 500w
HD: (1x 120G) and (1x 80G)
graphics: MSI geForce 7600 (nx7600gs-T2d256EH)
And I have 3 case fans so I'm farly sure The card was nice and cool, case temp stays between 65 and 75 degrees F depending how warm it is in the house

Try resetting the motherboards CMOS by removing the silver button battery for a few minutes with the computer unplugged

I still get nothing, I have a feeling my board is fried..... I'm trying to find another 915G board that supports my processor but i keep coming up short.... i might have to bite the bullet and upgrade the board and pricessor

On the other hand, at these prices... why not consider upgrading?

But have you first stripped back to a bare bones set up...
absolute minimum number of components to have a running system, then see if you get anything?
