hope you guys can help me
when the pc starts i get the xp logo up and just before the desktop loads
it all goes black apart from my mouse curser, but windows is loading ok.
I have to start in vga mode to get my screen to show as soon as i try to increase the resolution or colour Quality,the screen goes black.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled the ati drivers,and reset the bios to default.
the 9700 was moderately overclocked to 320/290 the default was 276/270 do you rekon ive fried the card or is it possible the monitor is at fault. thanks in advance.


xp 2400
asus a7v8xx
1 gig ddr 266
powercolor radeon 9700
